What are The Army Barracks

Shortly after the Steward Army invades the City, Bird is captured and kept in the barracks rather than in a prison. The prison and the barracks are considered interchangeable and this shows the kind of treatment meted out to the soldiers in the army. Units are segregated by race and rather than a clearly defined power hierarchy, leaders within the units are chosen through violence. The strongest and loudest one becomes the de facto commander.
