Due to security concerns the entrance into the men and women's slaves yards had double entrances. There was an outer door which was opened only after rigid vetting, then it is locked behind the person entering and either the door into the men's slave yard or the women's was opened and promptly shut behind the person entering. There were several other secutity measures in place.
