1 appearances
Purpose
Confinement space for prisoners during transit or while under suspicion, designed to hold individuals temporarily until formal processing can occur.
Significance
Serves as the catalyst for conflict—Gardiner and Kemp use it to enforce their accusations, while the Doctor and Jo must escape to clear their names. The hold's inaccessible design forces immediate action and underscores the power imbalance between Earth authorities and temporal travelers.
