The Pound

The Pound is a prison-like facility located in the Insurgency Hideout. It is used to hold prisoners captured from the Ministry or those who are deemed to be supportive of their cause. In it, prisoners are tortured for information and, at times, just for the sake of torturing them.

The Pound is home to many holding cells and pillars from which captives can be strung up upon. It is possible that there are other areas of the building more suited to explicit torture, but if there are they have not yet been shown in comic. The Pound is one of the buildings in the Insurgency Hideout that is build more permanently, as opposed to the many tents littering the area. This is most likely due to the Pound needing to be secure at all times to prevent any potential escapes and subsequent leaking of information to The Ministry.

There are two currently known about captives in the Pound. The first captive is a Watch (colloquially named "Peep") who fell and busted open its eye, essentially crippling it and permanently cutting it off from the collective network of Eyes from which The Minister peers through. The second prisoner is Miner, who was chained and gagged as punishment for his crimes against The Insurgency.
