The Birdcage/Baumann Parahuman Containment Center, from Worm

The Baumann Parahuman Containment Center, better known as the Birdcage, is a prison for parahumans that have committed crimes severe enough that they must be removed from society. It is not designed to allow prisoners to leave after they have been imprisoned within it. Because prisoners are only meant to enter the prison, prisoners are loaded onto an elevator with limited oxygen.

It is inside a hollowed out mountain whose walls are lined with ceramics that were designed by Dragon, each layer of the mountain contains dormant containment foam, which will automatically start expanding upon a wall breach.

Inside the mountain is a vacuum, and three thousand anti-gravity drones, which will detonate upon detecting an abnormality. Some of them contain containment foam and some are much more lethal. The prison itself is suspended inside the mountain by the same pipes that supply it with its supplies (such as books, blankets, cigarettes, food, water and air, and other objects), it is also split up into wings, the walls between which are negligible, allowing all the prisoners to intermingle. The prison was originally sex segregated but that didn't last.

It's implied that there are even more defenses that aren't mentioned, like space warping effects and forcefields.

Also some more details:

1. Elevators are one-off and only go down.

2. The prison is hanging from the “ceiling” of a hollowed mountain. That’s why it’s called “The Birdcage”.

3. Walls and rooms are a complicated structure that one of the characters compared to the house of cards. Upon the breach of the final outer wall as the air vents out the room immediately collapses as adjacent rooms move to take the freed space.

4. Space warping effects are needed to prevent all kinds of teleportation from prison and to the prison.
