Padded cell
A padded cell is a cell in a psychiatric hospital with cushions lining the walls. The padding is an attempt to prevent patients from hurting themselves by hitting their head (or other bodily parts) on the hard surface of the walls. In most cases, an individual's placement in a padded cell is involuntary.
Other names used are "rubber room", seclusion room, time out room, calming room, quiet room, or personal safety room.
