Incarceration in Magia Regnum

Incarceration in Magia Regnum is one of the main forms of punishment, rehabilitation, or both, for the commission of an indictable offense, crimes against magic, and contract violations.

Detention Bureau

In Magia Regnum, all offenders who must serve their sentence in a Kotoba correctional facility administered by the Detention Bureau of the Seigi Kaikan. Any offender who receives a sentence less than 24 months and for non-magical offenses, or who is incarcerated while awaiting trial or sentencing, may serve their sentence in a prefectural correctional facility.

Security Levels

Security level	Characteristics
Main security levels
Low Security	Perimeter is defined but usually there are no walls or fences. Restrictions on movement, association and privileges are minimal. Inmates are non-magical and or otherwise pose very limited risk to the safety of the community. Many are on work-release programs that allow them to hold jobs during the day.
Mid Security	Usually surrounded by chain-link fences topped with razor wire or magical wards. Magical arms are present but not normally deployed within the perimeter. Wards which dampen any magical ability and suppresses the effectiveness of power, spells, or incantation should they be cast inside; detention officers unaffected. Inmates are expected to act responsibly under regular and often direct supervision and participate in their correctional program plans. Many of these institutions have training centers and a variety of educational and treatment facilities.
High Security	High-security facilities are surrounded by high walls or fences with guard towers in strategic positions and magical wards that ensure any movement within the perimeter is detected. Multiple barriers which further dampen any magical ability and suppresses the effectiveness of power, spells, or incantation should they be cast inside rendering them useless even to detention officers. Inmates issued metal collar which cannot be removed and will issue a disabling or even fatal electric shock should they try to remove it or escape. Detention officers with magical arms and there are additional locked caches of magical arms amn other weapons within the institutions in the event of a serious disturbance. Various parts of the facility are separated by locked gates, fences and walls, wards, and spells. Inmate movement, association and privileges are strictly controlled because inmates pose a serious risk to staff, other offenders and the community. Some inmates live in segregation units, due either to behavioral problems or out of concern that they will be harmed by other inmates, usually as a result of their crimes. Typically those that are inflicted with Hoka Fever or malicious contracts
Other security levels and considerations
Multi-Level Security	Offenders with serious hoka fever are accommodated in Multilevel security facilities that combine the features of two or more of the security levels described above depending on the level of the corruption and rehabilitation
Special Housing Unit	The highest level of security is reserved for the small percentage of extremely violent magical girls who cannot function safely at the maximum-security level. This is also typically where Sono Shoujo are sent.
