A custody suite is a designated area within a police station in the United Kingdom designed and adapted to process and detain those who have been arrested, or who are there for purposes such as answering bail. Historically, all police stations had a small number of individual cells where offenders could be detained. However, in recent years most detainees are more likely to be taken to a large police station which is designated to hold prisoners. ==Facilities== There are numerous facilities contained within the custody suite, which most commonly include: * A holding cell where officers wait with prisoners awaiting entry to the suite. * A number of cells for detaining prisoners, often split into male, female and juvenile groups of cells. * A prisoner processing area where custody officers (most commonly uniformed sergeants) process the prisoners presented to them by police officers * Designated interview rooms, holding equipment used to conduct and record interviews with suspects for use as evidence. * A medical room for use by police medical staff * Consultation rooms where detained persons can consult with their legal representatives. * Rooms used for video identification parades or similar. * A room officers can complete the necessary arrest documentation after their prisoners have been legally and formally logged in as held in custody. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Custody suite」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
