Pabellón 4

Spanish to English Tech/Engineering Construction / Civil Engineering Jail
Hola! La consulta es sobre el título de un documental que trata sobre presidiarios del Pabellón 4 en una prisión.
"Pabellón" es cada una de las áreas donde se encuentran las celdas de presos, divididos según distintos criterios. En este caso ,por ejemplo ,el Pabellón 4 es el que alberga a los presidiarios con buena conducta.
Sería "Wing" la palabra específica?
4th Wing?

Gracias!

It depends on your language variant, but cell block is one answer. "Wing" sounds more British to me.

They faced a harsh regime in a new cell block constructed for political prisoners.

Located on active prison grounds, Cell Block 7 offers visitors a unique museum experience. You won’t have to imagine prison life; you’ll feel it as you inhabit the same cells and walk the same corridors as some of Michigan’s most hardened criminals.

Block 4

Was tempted by Cell block but that just makes me think of Cell Block H.

The ageing criminal, branded one of the ‘Sunset Strip Killers’ for a spate of grim murders in Los Angeles in 1980, spoke to reporters from inside ‘the hole’ – otherwise known as the Adjustment Center, where inmates are held in isolated cells as punishment for bad behavior in the main cell block.

Around 500 men live in the East Block, where five tiers of cells are stacked on top of each other and prisoners are watched by armed officers.
