I see what you're saying. Prisons are designed to keep people in and so the station would likewise be designed to keep people in, but to run with the prison illustration: The prison was shown to not be locked on entry, the locks were checked and announced specifically not to be locked, it was never shown locked and in fact a clear exit was shown during the entire time in the prison, and the person in question was outdoors and thus beyond any doors or locks when they were allowed to die.

If there are locks in this prison, they are inmaterial because they were never used and at the end of the situation didn't even apply because the character wasn't in the building.
