Accountability Booth

An Accountability Booth is a pod-like structure, normally found on streets in the central administrative and business districts of a bailiwick in the Benacian Union where subjects may, in comparative privacy, pause and enter to give account of themselves to authority. Found within the pod will be a chair, desk, privacy screen and basic network terminal. Accountability Booths are normally used by subjects to conform with the conditions of their parole, for denunciations directed against fellow subjects or public officials, and for routine administrative actions. The booths are also available for those subjects, burdened by guilt, who wish to make a full and free confession of their inharmonious deeds, words, or thoughts.

Monitored continuously by the Commission for the Panopticon, the booths can be remotely locked if appropriate, and an aerosol sedative released for the safety and comfort of the occupant as they await collection by officers from the Corps of the Gentlemen-at-Cudgels.
