stockades
Fenced military prisons
Stockades are defensive enclosures made of upright wooden posts or stakes driven into the ground, typically used historically to fortify military positions or settlements: The colonists built stockades against raids.
By extension, a stockade is a military prison or detention area.
The verb means to surround or protect with such a barrier: They stockaded the camp before nightfall.
