Prisoner Poles are capturing devices used by Cannibals, Fogmen and Gurglers. The Holy Nation also utilizes them in Rebirth. When a recruit/NPC is captured nearby a prisoner pole they are locked in and eaten alive by the nearest enemies. This process can take anywhere from a few seconds to minutes, allowing for escape. They work a lot like Prisoner Cages but with separate animations. They are also used by the Southern Hive. When tied up on a pole a character can medic themselves (Provided the job is set) once their legs reach a certain threshold. When eaten alive in Kenshi, cut damage as well as negative bandaged health is applied. You'll need to patch up that damage or your character will be crippled even with a full health robotic limb.
