The high-security prison appears to be located on an island, surrounded by giant walls. The only access to the prison is a bridge. The entrance is guarded by two or more guards, who will check every vehicle that wants to get into the prison.

Sensors are continuously checking the vital functions of the prisoners, reacting even to the slightest sign of unusual behavior or attempt to activate a Quirk.[1]

Trivia

  • In Greek Mythology, Tartarus is a dungeon in the underworld where the worst sinners are forever kept to be tortured for their evil deeds.
    • The manga and anime incorrectly say that it was the name of the god the ruled it but this is wrong, the god's name was Hades and he ruled all three afterlifes. This mistake was corrected in the dub.
