LeMaitre imprisons the Doctor

The soldiers' rooms are repurposed as a makeshift confinement space for the Doctor under LeMaitre’s orders. The Jailer mentions evicting the soldiers currently occupying them to accommodate the Doctor, highlighting the prison’s flexibility in using its facilities to detain individuals. This object symbolizes the regime’s ability to adapt its infrastructure to serve its oppressive goals, stripping the Doctor of his freedom and isolating him from his companions.

Before: Occupied by soldiers, serving as their quarters within the prison.

After: Repurposed as a holding cell for the Doctor, with soldiers temporarily displaced.
