brig
Ship's holding cell
A brig is a two-masted sailing vessel with square sails on both masts.
In naval and military usage, a brig is a jail or detention facility, especially one aboard a ship or at a military installation: They threw him in the brig for insubordination.
The prison sense likely derives from the practice of confining offenders on such vessels.
