"We haven't assigned him a cell for tonight yet, do you want to make things a bit rough for him?" Director Bru asked Lance in a low voice over the phone.
Mr. Walter was still in the interrogation room, and what Bru meant was to ask Lance whether they should put him into one of those multi-person cells.
The detention cells in the police station aren't like the ones in prison. Each room has either two bunks or four bunks. Here, instead, it's basically one big room, with some long benches welded to the walls and a toilet in the corner so the people inside don't just shit and piss everywhere.
There are single-person cells—the rooms are relatively small, but you can lie down and stretch out.
Most of them, though, are multi-person cells. If you're lucky, there'll be seven or eight people together; if you're unlucky, there'll be a dozen, maybe twenty, crammed in.
