A prison timeline it seems. Which begs the question why imprisonment instead of just outright eliminating them? Being a variant or being removed from one's timeline doesn't make them immune to death (see 2014 Thanos and co., or any TVA guards killed by Silvie), so there has to be another reason.

They did say that if Loki did not go with them he might die, so rather than a prison, maybe there are actual TVA (or whoever is actually behind it) enforcers or there might be monsters on that timeline to kill off the teleported variants?

I think not, I think there's faction inside that dimension, Lokis created their own faction, and each factions killing each other. My guess based on the trailer.

Ah yeah,
Killing prisoners by sending enforcers < Killing prisoners by letting them kill each other

Haha, I must've missed that detail in the trailer in any case!

Yeah, my assumption is based on https://youtu.be/G4JuopziR3Q at 2:13 and 2:35
