MILGRAM (ミルグラム) is a prison guarded by Es and Jackalope. It currently houses 10 prisoners who've all committed murder.
Appearance[]
MILGRAM is split into two central areas, connected by a long corridor. The left side of the prison is a panopticon cell block filled with 11 cells numbered 000 through 010. Each cell appears as a white room with a height chart on the wall and a stair-like structure in one of the corners. Along the corridor there are 6 rooms, dining room, the hall, the prisoners' shower room, the warehouse, and two bedrooms for Es and Jackalope. At the end of the hallway there is a corridor and court. The rooms that lead to the court are not legible.
The guards at MILGRAM wear a uniform consisting of a gray peaked cap with gold accents and the MILGRAM emblem on the front, and a dark gray cape with golden sashes around the body reading "prison officer" and "omnibus dubitandum" for Es, and "panopticon" for Jackalope.
Over their clothes, the prisoners wear a white straitjacket-like uniform, consisting of double-sided belts color-coded to each prisoner and gold buckles, made to restrain the prisoners' arms. Each prisoner also wears a tag connected to their uniform with their name and code number.
Prison System[]
In MILGRAM, a three trial system is used to determine the prisoners’ judgement. Es (and the viewers) has the chance to vote whether a prisoner is innocent (forgiven) or guilty (not forgiven). Within a certain time period, the votes will be counted. This will be carried out three times. At the end of each trial, depending on whether they were voted innocent (forgiven) or guilty (not forgiven), their placement in the second trial will change. The same will occur for the third trial. What will happen to the prisoners after the third trial is currently unknown.
In MILGRAM they are able to extract mental images from prisoners as music videos. It does however take a while and not all images can be extracted at once. By watching these music videos, Es (and by extension, the viewers) can decide whether a prisoner is innocent or not. The only way for viewers to vote is through the app or logging into the official MILGRAM website. Jackalope states that the music videos produced from the prisoners contain their sins hidden within them. Depending on the prisoner, their exact sins may not be known immediately in the first trial.
Depending on the results of the votes, the songs in the next trial may change.
