Geoffrey Mandel and Mike Overton posted an MSD for the Titan-A which, at 560 meters, has 28 decks including three on the saucer rim. It also doubles the height of the decks on the spine aft of the bridge for some reason, possibly to account for the windows there that (still to me) impress a smaller size.

That seems to be from using the TMP saucer as-is without reducing the window sizes. I wonder if this doubling could be applied back to the TMP Enterprise.
Except Voyager states that the ships' computer monitors the crews' brain scans, so some measure of tech is used, regardless of invasiveness.
Star Trek: Enterprise got the basic premise correct by having a Physical Barrier keeping the occupants in the Brig.
Imagine how much harder it would be to escape if you had BOTH Energy & Physical Barrier going on.
1x Energy Barrier on the inside
1x Physical Barrier in the middle
1x Energy Barrier on the outside
Each cell in the Brig is fully independently powered on it's own power grid with backup batteries.
Energy Barrier on the inside, should Energy Barrier fail, Physical Barrier in the middle.
That buys you time to bring back the Energy Barrier on the inside.
Outside Energy Barrier also helps prevent breakout from outside by external forces.
But that would be too logical and common sense.
Now you're thinking like a Trek writer.
Or the power would fluctuate just right.It's Trek, so if a story needed it, a prisoner would simply divert the power from the field to open the door.
Or the guard would be tricked.
Or some other contrivance.
On watching TOS lately it's been amusing to see how often security just flat out fails at even the most basic of tasks. And then I remember that they are there to present dramatic opportunities and a verisimilitude of a real world not the real world.
Honestly, it probably would have worked better if security was a secondary job aboard ship. Ninety percent of the time they'd just be sitting on their hands since they rarely have prisoners and nothing is routinely guarded.
I'd say beyond a small crew, security would be a part time, or a "Everyone is Security" type of thing, as in Marines, Every marine is a rifleman.
You would have a core of say 15 security, and they'd act as security, or "Soldiers" during away misions. On ship they'd train, or prepare for the next assignment/planet. Run towards danger, take shifts on the bridge as tactical officers.
As in day to day, yeah security would be kind of boring as a posting on a ship.
I would say even a brig attendee would be a part timer, or "As Needed" job, they would go do, whatever, and if the brig was in use, they'd have a set of people that would man it for whatever duration.

Why can't we have Data-style Androids be the Jailer who watches over the inmates in the Brig?
I suspect the synth ban is still kind of there.
Did anything ever come of it after S1? Seems like a lot of what transpired has been conveniently forgotten (with the notable exception of Vadic's mention of Picard's synth body).

Security might run drills most of the time?
Security people keep failing and dying, so only morons apply to security, since only morons apply to security security people keep failing and dying in a self-fulfilling prophecy!
Medical tricorder
Oh look, a trIphone.
It's the same Samsung Z Flip 3 seen last year as the eeeevil Confederation tricorder, albeit in a different case and with the medical scanner thingy. as S2 and S3 were shot back to back, it follows they'd be using the same core phone.

I believe Clancy said the Council would revisit the decision, and Picard was still chancellor of the Academy so something changed.
There's an app for that!
