Who knows. Must be in the same place as Voyager's. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Why use forcefields instead of solid doors..............

I wonder... Must be a Star Trek thing.

WHY use forcefields at all, they require constant energy, they fail in case of incident or power failure. Brigs using conventional doors are safer. In the voyager episode "Repentance" a ship attacks Voyager carrying a group of prisoners, the force fields fail permitting the prisoners to escape, while the cells are made of "Tritanium" bulk heads, strong stuff. But use forcefield doors. Solid doors require NO energy consumption

You have a good point. It was probably more for the sake of the story than practicality.

Specially when Transparent aluminum is now a real thing.

Wow, really? That's interesting.

Aluminum oxynitride. They take aluminum, oxygen and nitrogen, in a ceramic mix (AL2O3) with nitrogen and bake at over 2000 degrees celsius, then they polish it til it's transparent; Artificial gemstone, made into a window. Transparent ceramics have been around since the 60's but were really expensive to make.

Because of it's expense; It's mostly used in defense products.
A 1.5 inch thick plate can stop a 50 caliber bullet at point blank range, weighing less than a 4 inch thick glass/poly laminate. It's used in
- Sensor windows for Infrared, military cameras that need to withstand years of abuse
- Missile optic fronts qph.fs.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-…
- Military vehicle windows
potential/upcoming uses for spacecraft windows, space helmets, civilian protection windows, aircraft/helicopter windows. Cellphone/computer screens, basically anything where durability and transparency is needed.
Scuba gear/diving equipment that withstand greater pressures.
police/military face shields, ski goggles.
Transparent kayaks and canoes. Greenhouse panels
See thru containers. solar panel protectors (and light focusing lenses)
And my favorite, Sunglasses

I did not know that, very fascinating.

It was also used by Montgomery Scott in Star Trek IV 'The Voyage Home' when the Enterprise crew went back in time to pick up 2 Humpback Whales aboard a Klingon Bird-of-Prey.
When Montgomery Scott and Doctor McCoy visited a company called Plexicorp in San Francisco to get the panels they needed Scotty supposedly gave the formula to the companies chief engineer a Doctor Nichols.
In the scene Scotty asked Doctor Nichols how thick a 60 foot by 10 foot panel of the companies Plexiglas would have to be to hold a pressure of 18,000 cubic feet of water. Doctor Nichols said 6 inches and that they had the appropriate panels in stock. Scotty then used one of the companies computers to show Doctor Nichols the formula for Transparent Aluminium which would only need to be 1 inch thick to do the same job.

Yes. With things like that they've always tried to be fairly accurate.
The problem is that the molecular structure that's on the little computer screen is really difficult to see, but if you watch the scene slowly, as Scotty is typing away, you do see the individual moleculars that make up the final structure.

There must be quite a lot if research that goes into making a show/film like this!

The problem is the cost of making it.
At 10 dollars per square inch, even a small window would cost over a thousand dollars
Though mass production would bring that price down considerably.
And to give an idea how durable the stuff is, it took a .50 caliber bullet at point blank range, the kind of bullets that put holes thru skulls in other zip codes

Other potential use, Prison windows. One idea is to have larger windows for inmates to get more fresh air and sunlight.

But also allow guards to easily monitor by simply looking into their cell from the outside

Very nicely done. I'm curious as to the purpose of the console located against the far wall. Routine monitoring? Doubtless the cells transmit medical telemetry to Sickbay.

Thanks. It's just an additional computer interface that can be used if someone is already busy at the other console. I didn't have a specific use in mind for it.

Excellent job with the layout.
What I find most amusing is that there never seems to be any indication of a toilet and wash basin in a cell.
