The Circle (punishment)

The Circle is a punishment invented by Boyd in an episode of the same name. It also briefly appeared in the episode "League of Rachels" only with more people inside and bigger.

History
The Box was first tested on C.J. Rotweiler. At first, she wasn't particularly affected, but after only a few seconds of isolation, she cracks, and when she's finally released, she fears the circle and all things circle, enough so that she does everything Mr Boyd tells her to do. She is sent back to the box courtesy of her friends so that she can face her fears. She does, and she goes back to her old self, leaving Boyd to break down and sob over his box.

Appearance and Traits
The Circle is just a circle painted onto the blacktop, but it's psychological impact is astounding, especially since nobody is allowed to get within 30 yards of the Box, leaving the kid isolated.
