=== The Hole ===
{{Main|The Hole (Scientology)}}
[[The Hole (Scientology)|The Hole]] is the name of a de facto prison building at [[Gold Base]]; an office building of two adjacent double-wide trailers that was turned into a prison by [[David Miscavige]]. All but one exterior door was barred shut, windows were fixed to limit opening them only two inches, and a 24-hour guard was posted at the remaining door. Initially, 40 personnel were placed inside until they "confessed their crimes" to Miscavige's satisfaction. The 'prisoners' slept on the floor, were fed cold leftovers or rice and beans, had limited access to washing facilities, and were subjected to daily confession sessions and [[public humiliation]]. At one point, the number of prisoners reached 140. Along with [[sleep deprivation]] and starvation, there was also [[Assault|physical brutality]], and [[Torture|physical]] and [[Psychological torture|mental torture]]. Though some people managed to escape the building, their escape from the surrounding premises would be thwarted by guards, cameras, motion sensors, and [[razor wire]]. Many 'residents' remained in the Hole for years.<ref name="concentration">{{cite news |url=http://blogs.villagevoice.com/runninscared/2012/08/scientology_concentration_camp_the_hole.php |title=Scientology's Concentration Camp for Its Executives: The Prisoners, Past and Present |last=Ortega |first=Tony |author-link=Tony Ortega |date=August 2, 2012 |publisher=[[The Village Voice]] |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150407055834/http://blogs.villagevoice.com/runninscared/2012/08/scientology_concentration_camp_the_hole.php |archive-date=April 7, 2015}}</ref>{{r|rinder|pages=208–217}}
