Force cage

"You'll pardon me if I don't shake hands. The energy cage only causes minor electrical burns."

- Atton Rand to the Jedi Exile

A force cage was a device used to contain prisoners, used primarily during the Jedi Civil War and in the years afterward. Essentially an energy shield in the form of a tube, it consisted of a base and cap connected by a column at the back that also anchored it to a wall; this served as a conduit for the energy barrier. Force cages were often found in groups contained within a separate, often locked room within police stations, security rooms and other such places throughout the Galaxy and controlled through a central computer interface terminal. There was usually plenty of room for a detainee to either stand or sit; some force cages, such as the ones in the Telosian Jedi Academy, were large enough for a grown Human to sleep in.
