| Description | The first brigs on Earth Starfleet vessels were small cells with solid doors; later Federation Starfleet vessels and installations used force fields, which could be switched on or off to allow access. In the event that a ship's computer detected a life-threatening situation, such as a hull breach, it could override the field to allow the prisoner to reach safety. |
