What is a "prison pod"?

The pod is a sub-section within the detention center. It is usually a large triangular room with cells lining one of the walls stacked two high. There is an open unit with a TV, several tables that are made for jails with four seats attached. The entire table is attached to the floor. The showers are in the open, in view of the guards who are stationed in a protected booth that looks down on the entire pod
