Holding Dimension
from the Buffyverse Wiki - a free Buffy and Angel fan community
Wolfram and Hart's Holding Dimension is an alternate hell dimension where the Senior Partners place inmates whose fates have not been decided. This dimension can be accessed through an automated Camaro that drives itself to a portal leading to the dimension. This dimension resembled a United States suburban town and its sunlight doesn't injure vampires
The Prisoners placed in this holding dimension are stripped of the memory of their past and identities and given new ones, through a necklace they are forced to wear and live the same day over and over. They wake up and spend a few minutes with a fake family, and then go down into their houses' basement, where they are tortured by a demon that cuts out their hearts. Afterwards, the wound is regenerated and the process starts all over again.
Once someone enters, the only way out is to pass through the Wrath; a portal hidden within the furnace of each house. The lock to open the portal is a mystical one and for it to open, someone must wear the memory altering necklace.
