This is how prison is

• The prison where Anmol is kept is also known as Squirrel Cage. Built in 1885, this prison is known for keeping criminals in revolving cells.
• The Pottawattamie County Jail is one of three rotating jails in the US. This jail was designed in such a way for security purposes that there is minimal contact between prisoners and jailers.
• This uniquely designed prison had the facility to rotate the cells to reach the desired prisoner. All the cells are located on a circular path. The structure of the cells makes the prison look like a cage.
• That is why it is also called Squirrel Cage. This jail is also called haunted jail. Dangerous prisoners were kept here for a long time. It was used as a jail till 1969. In 1971, it was converted into a museum.
