Dr. Lecter's cell is an 8'x8' square room on the left-hand side of a hall at the end of the violent criminals wing, in the lowest basement of the hospital. Unlike the regular bars of every other cell in the hall, Lecter's has a front wall made from bulletproof PERSPEX® glass, with airholes at regular intervals near the top and bottom of the barrier. A young nurse would visit for her hypnotherapy research. The wide-eyed, full lipped nurse would make a Botticelli angel look like a gargoyle.
