2. **Close Unit:** Designed for prisoners classified as close custody, those in protective custody, and individuals on reception status, this unit consists of single cells arranged in six pods.

3. **Medium Unit:** Catering to prisoners classified as medium custody and those awaiting transfer to a minimum facility, this unit features double cells across six pods, with the exception of one pod containing single cells.
