interrogation room
Police interview space
An interrogation room is a space in a police station or similar facility designed for questioning suspects or witnesses.
The rooms are typically spare and windowless, intended to create psychological pressure: The detective led him into the interrogation room and closed the door.
In fiction and reality, the interrogation room is where confessions are extracted, sometimes through coercive techniques.
