Scope note
Boxlike enclosures having openwork of bars, wires, or the like used to confine or protect its occupant, or to admit light or ventilation. Typically reserved for large or small enclosures of this type used for animals, or for freestanding barred enclosures for humans. For such rooms in prisons, particularly if the room is enclosed within walls and having only a limited area of bars, prefer "prison cells."
