::The Nest of Maggots::
||Prison and Mental Rehabilitation Center||

-Specialization:... -

The Nest of Maggots is a place in Seireitei which serves as a prison under the supervision of the third corps of the Special Forces, also known as the Detention Unit. On the inside, it resembles a cave with an area for prisoners.

When a Shinigami becomes a potential danger to other Shinigami and Soul Society itself, then that Shinigami is brought to the Maggot's Nest for imprisonment, even if that Shinigami was not put on trial; this is to ensure that no danger will be brought to Soul Society. Most prisoners are not held inside a cell (since they cannot set foot outside the prison), with the exception the Maggot's Nest's most infamous former resident:Mayuri Kurotsuchi, considered at the time an exceptionally dangerous person.

Neither the staff of the Detention Unit, who are called jailers, nor any other visitors are permitted to carry a Zanpakutō into the Maggot's Nest; visotors must deposit them at the entrance. This measureme means that the jailers are required to be able to control the prisoners with bare hands....

The Detention Unit is responsible for the imprisonment and supervision of all criminals within the Seireitei. They also had another duty known as Special Detention which was related to those who joined the Gotei 13 but who were judged to be a danger to their fellow Shinigami. They would investigate, apprehend, and keep them sealed away from the rest of Soul Society. It should be noted that those few kept in the Maggots' Nest have not actually committed any crime but have been identified by the laws of Soul Society as "Dangerous Elements".
