Holding Cell

Holding cell is a temporary waiting room for prisoners who didn't yet receive their own, "normal" cell. Bandits kept in this room cannot sleep and therefore will become increasingly irritated with time. Another problem connected with this room is the fact that after you create it, a certain number of guards will move there regardless of whether there are any prisoners present (guards are quite likely to look after empty rooms). It's a result of a bug in the game which should be fixed soon enough.

In the current version of Prison Architect, the holding cell should be created only to receive money from one of the grants (see: Budget). After receiving the prize, change the purpose of the room as it's not very useful on its own: it's much more important to invest in a bug amount of regular cells. That's also why you shouldn't dedicate too much space for this room and stick with the minimum size (despite what the above screen seems to suggest).
