1. Prison cell

   A prison cell (also known as a jail cell) is a small room in a prison or police station where a prisoner is held. Cells greatly vary by their furnishings, hygienic services, and cleanliness, both across countries and based on the level of punishment to which the person being held has been sentenced. Cells can be occupied by one or multiple people depending on factors that include, but are not limited to, inmate population, facility size, resources, or inmate behavior.

   A prison cell is a small, secured room within a larger confinement facility such as a prison or jail, in which individuals are physically confined or incarcerated for a certain period of time as punishment for committing crimes. Typically, a prison cell includes minimal amenities such as a bed, toilet, and sink, and is locked from the outside by prison authorities. The size, facilities, and number of inmates in a cell can vary depending on the prison's rules and regulations.

1. Prison cell

   A prison cell or holding cell or lock-up is a small room in a prison, or police station where a prisoner is held. Prison cells are usually about 6 by 8 feet in size with steel or brick walls and one solid or barred door that locks from the outside. Many modern prison cells are pre-cast. Solid doors may have a window that allows the prisoner to be observed from the outside. Furnishings and fixtures inside the cell are constructed so that they cannot be easily broken and are anchored to the walls or floor. Stainless steel lavatories and commodes are also used. This prevents vandalism or the making of weapons. There are a number of prison and prison cell configurations, from simple police station holding cells to massive cell blocks in larger correctional facilities. In the United Kingdom, cells in a police station are the responsibility of the Custody Sergeant, who also logs each detainee and allocates him or her an available cell. Custody Sergeants also ensure cells are clean and as germ-free as possible, in accordance with the Human Rights Act. The practice of assigning only one inmate to each cell in a prison is called single-celling. Some United States prisons offer upgrades. Costing around 100 dollars a night, these cells are considered cleaner and quieter, some of which offer extra facilities.
