This is a photograph of a detention facility area with multiple holding cells. The image shows a room with a smooth concrete floor and white walls against which seven cell doors are aligned. Each door has a rectangular window. Above the center of the row of doors is a round, black clock displaying the time. The doors are numbered from 2 to 7, with a clipboard or piece of paper attached next to each door. In between the doors, there are small metal shelves attached to the wall. The room is brightly lit, with recessed lighting in the tiled ceiling.
