Imprisoned at Gold?

"The Gold Base" is where top Scientology Management is. Around 100 or more "Sea Org Members" work and live there 7 days a week. This is where David Miscavige (fearless leader) is located.

Razor fences surround the perimeter.

A number of Ex-Sea Org Members have told the press and/or authorities about being imprisoned in one of the double-wide trailers, referred to as "The Hole".

You see, the Sea Org has something called "The Rehabilitation Project Force" that was intended to salvage out-ethics and off-purpose Sea Org Members. You live in cramped quarters either in the basement or somewhere tucked out of the way. You get put to work doing hard labor and alternately getting "Confessionals". Your basic rights are taken away, you only get to eat table scraps left over from other meals, you get very little sleep, you're not allowed to communicate with anybody unless it's required for the labor you're doing.

Essentially "The Hole" is Gold Base's RPF. Miscavige set it up around 2004 or so, as he felt that the Execs under his command were such fucking degraded beings that they needed a Severe Reality Adjustment.

The Tampa Bay Times described "The Hole" as such:

a place of confinement and humiliation where Scientology's management culture — always demanding — grew extreme. Inside, a who's who of Scientology leadership went at each other with brutal tongue lashings, and even hands and fists. They intimidated each other into crawling on their knees and standing in trash cans and confessing to things they hadn't done. They lived in degrading conditions, eating and sleeping in cramped spaces designed for office use.
