To me, it looks like baby cages or baby prison cells. Who buys these baby cages? Apparently churches! At least, that's who they're being marketed to. This was from a catalog sent to my church (where I work).
So if you've got a bunch of bad babies, you get the four-cell baby cage, but if you've only got a couple bad babies, you might want this two-cell baby cage:
See that? She's saying, "Bad baby! Bad! I lock you in your cage now!" and the baby is about to cry. Oh, and if you've got really bad babies, you get the hole ("storage drawer" yeah right!):
But if you have good Christian babies, you reward them with special trophies!

funny. and yet, so creepy!
As you may or may not know, I grew up attending First Baptist Church in Jonesboro, Illinois. What you certainly do not know...FBC Jonesboro has these cages in the nursery and has had them for the a couple decades at least...I can't remember them not being there.
Obviously, this baby cage scheme is nothing new...perhaps it just needs more top-notch investigatory journalism (like the hard-hitting coverage found on this site) to bring the issue to the attention of a clueless public.
I grew up in a baby cage at Dorrisville, too! They finally got rid of them while I was in college. I think you should get one. ;-)
That is seriously messed up.
