'''[[Virtual reality]] detention facilities''' were used by [[the Department]] to contain its prisoners. The cells consisted of a single seat, in which the prisoner would sit wearing [[VR goggles]], experiencing [[virtual reality]]. The facilities were patrolled by [[CCPC]]s.

When [[Starkey]] was apprehended by CCPCs, he was sentenced to six months in a virtual reality detention facility. A [[Jixen]] tracked him to the facility and cornered him in his cell when a CCPC walked in. The Jixen punched it, allowing Starkey to escape. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Regeneration (TV story)}}) His sentence was reset to day one, plus an extra six months for escaping. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Liberation (TV story)}}) However, [[Alistair Gryffen]] erased his criminal file. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Korven (TV story)}})

After the [[Time Blank]] experiment wasn't entirely successful, the Department imprisoned [[Taphony]] in a detention facility to keep it from being revealed. Gryffen hacked into virtual reality and unlocked her cell. She was met by two CCPC guards, but she turned them to dust. Gryffen then transported her via the [[Space-Time Manipulator]].

[[Thorne]] fabricated evidence via virtual reality to [[Darius Pike]] to gain [[K9 Mark 2|K9]]'s [[regeneration unit]]. When they put on VR goggles, Thorne showed him what was apparently his [[Harry Pike|father]] suffering mental agony in a detention facility, as his cell was "nothing but white", with no detail to "draw the eye or distract the mind". [[June Turner]] said Darius' father was safely in a minimum security environment. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Hound of the Korven (TV story)}})

Not every Department prison used virtual reality. Neither [[Dauntless Prison]] ([[TV]]: {{cs|Liberation (TV story)}}) nor the prison the [[Mede]]s were kept in did so. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Alien Avatar (TV story)}})
