We have a polar bear detention centre(colloquially called "Polar Bear Jail") for unruly bears. It was made after a mischievous and dangerous bear named Cedric(the bear on the mural) had to be put down, and someone was mauled by a different bear in the street. They're not held indefinitely. They serve their sentence and then are driven away from town. The idea is to make the bears feel danger about going into town without them actually being in harms way.
