jail cells
Barred holding rooms
Jail cells are the individual rooms or compartments within a jail where prisoners are confined.
Each cell typically contains a bed, toilet, and sink, with bars or a heavy door separating it from the corridor.
The jail cells were overcrowded during the holiday weekend.
The term emphasizes the physical spaces of incarceration rather than the institution itself.
