A ship's '''brig''' is a jail or prison used to house individuals that pose a security threat to the vessel or her crew. These individuals may comprise prisoners of war, criminals, or crewmembers serving or are awaiting to serve punishment. The size of the [http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Brig brig] is dependent of the size of the ship. Smaller craft like the [[Defiant class]] have only one cell, while bigger vessels like the [[Normandy class]] have ten or more. Cells are designed to hold two prisoners at a time, although four can be housed in one in emergency situations. [[Starfleet]] cell design calls for bulkheads on three sides and a fourth housing an embedded forcefield to allow passage in and out of the enclosement. Cells also have hide-a-way bunks and tables, but are not made for long-term incarceration.

Usually the brig is located in an isolated area of the ship or station, and includes a security checkpoint from which access to the prisoners are controlled. This point is manned at all times by [[Security Officer]]s and has extensive sensor monitoring, as well as a weapons locker. Most ship and station designs have brigs as part of a larger security complex.

The brig is under the command of the [[Brig Officer]], who is responsible for the security and welfare of prisoners housed therein.
