An exterior view of Zone Jail.
Zone Jail is a prison within the No Zone. Overseen by Warden Zobotnik and the Zone Cops, it holds prisoners whose actions threaten other Zones or the structure of the Multiverse. Being within the No Zone, the jail features gravity that allows for both orientation to No Zone and the native parallel zones of the inmates, making it seem possible to walk on walls. Prisoners within the jail wear special Control Collars to suppress their powers and abilities along with a standard orange prison uniform. There is some strong emphasis from the Warden on "aggressive" reformation, while group therapy sessions for prisoners are overseen by Zouge the Bat. (SU: #29, #31).
Though security is usually tight within the prison, a riot took place days after the arrest of the Destructix when they attempted a breakout. During the chaos that followed, inmates Verti-Cal and Horizont-Al were freed of their Control Collars, unleashing their destructive demigod forms which inflicted severe structural damage to the prison as well. Eventually the situation was contained by prison staff and officers arriving as backup, but the Destructix succeeded in escaping along with Scourge as they had planned. In the end, more than 60% of the cell blocks were left damaged, forcing the prisoners to be housed in temporary shelters in the exercise yard. The repair efforts put into effect also resulted in costly diversion of needed resources by the Zone Cops. (SU: #31, #32)
