Kauf is desibed as being surrounded by large gates and well-guarded. The gates are surrounded by mountains (containing the cave where Elias, Laia, and Keenan hide), and one-half of the prison juts onto the Eastern Sea. The prison is designed in a panopticon style – it is a circle with the masks’ quarters and interrogation cell at the center and is divided into six surrounding segments containing storage, the kitchen (where Scholar children are forced to work as slaves), barracks for Martial guards, a mess hall, solitary confinement cells, and cells for prisoners, principally scholars but also designated blocks for Tribal and Mariner prisons. Outside, the prison contains pens, stables, and kennels for animals, as well as a boathouse.
