the Great Jail, is the World Government's maximum-security prison for the most dangerous criminals and pirates. Its name derives from the English verb 'impel', meaning to force. It's symbol resembles the Nazi Swastika and is like it in many ways such as the arm bands worn by the staff resembles the arm bands worn by Nazi officers. Some translations use the word Gaol which is an early Modern English spelling for jail.[1]
It is located underwater in the middle of a Calm Belt. The only way to get there with the greatest of ease, one must use a water current accessible by going through the Gates of Justice located at either the Marine Headquarters or Enies Lobby. Also, the only way to safely get to the prison is to use one of the seastone lined Marine battleships as the entire place is surrounded by Sea Kings.
