Prison or Labour camp

Cells in an ending cutscene.

A prison, jail, or a forced labor camp is an area the inspector is sent to upon the breach of certain laws. These can scale from high treason to being in debt. Endings 1, 5–12, 14, and 17 end with the inspector being executed or sentenced to forced labor. The inspector is arrested in endings 3, 4, and 13. Regardless of the situation, installations and inspector's cell number (918533-6124) are always the same in the cutscenes.
