The layout is organized around a central 'Inspection Hall' which serves as the hub for four main 'PRISON WING' structures. Each wing consists of a central corridor flanked by rows of individual cell blocks, with the outermost cells labeled 'CELLS'. The wings are arranged in a cross-like pattern around the central hall. To the right of the central hall is a 'CHAPEL' with tiered seating, and an adjacent 'Entrance Building' containing a 'Consultation Room' and a 'Commissariat Room'. An 'Open Court' is situated between the chapel and the entrance building. On the far right, there are two 'Chambers' and a 'Gymnasium House'. The entire complex is enclosed by a thick 'BOUNDARY WALL'. A scale bar at the bottom right indicates distances in feet, ranging from 0 to 100.
