The wall of the Barrier is monitored and patrolled. There is no way over, under, or around it. Any Citizen caught trying to circumvent the Barrier, or any of its security devices, is subject to immediate justice by Collectors without judgement by a Prefect. No Citizen so caught, nor any Citizen rumored to have made it beyond the Barrier, has never been seen again by family or acquaintances.
