o wiezieniu w Auckland
"security was upgraded significantly during the 1990s and 2000s. Rev David Connor, the prison chaplain, noted that when he moved to Paremoremo in 1984, a chain-link fence around the medium-security block was all that was required. In 2010, however, the maximum security part of the prison, East Division, is surrounded by a highly secure perimeter fence covered in razor wire. Razor wire is also laid between the unit and the fence. East Wing has only one point of entry which has a highly sensitive scanner which every person must pass through.
Anyone carrying items into East Division is required to bring them through in a clear plastic bag. Every person entering is also liable to be searched. East Division has a centralised CCTV system, with cameras monitored from the control room in the centre of the wing at all times. All cells are made of solid concrete and have bars on the windows. All exercise yards are enclosed. There is also a higher staff/prisoner ratio in east block than in other units."

Beata Claridge

A "segregation unit" is special "housing unit" that segrates more violent prisoners from the rest of the population that are housed in ordinary housing units comprised of many cells.

"Housing unit," I believe, is a politically-correct, modern term for "cell block." We would not want to hurt the feelings of the inmates, would we? It is an administrative division, supervised by dedicated staff, as in the text of the question.
