cell bars
Jail cage dividers
Cell bars are the metal rods forming the barrier of a prison cell, typically running vertically from floor to ceiling.
The image of hands gripping cell bars is iconic in depictions of incarceration: He stared through the cell bars at the corridor beyond.
Figuratively, cell bars represent imprisonment or confinement of any kind.
