Both sorts may vary greatly in scale and amount of accommodation provided.

Some of the terms listed are only used in some parts of the English speaking world.

Only a few, at the most about thirty or forty, can witness [an execution]. It excites nobody outside of the list permitted to attend. I think the time for capital punishment has passed. I would abolish it. But while it lasts this is the best mode.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

But only a belilaced cellar hole,”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
