The Maggot's Nest located on the grounds of the Second Division, and is surrounded by a moat. On the inside, it resembles a cave with an area for prisoners. When a Shinigami becomes a potential danger to other Shinigami and Soul Society, that Shinigami is brought to the Maggot's Nest for imprisonment, regardless if they were put on trial; this is to ensure no danger will be brought to Soul Society. All prisoners are not held inside a cell (since they cannot set foot outside the prison).
