Eh.
Tartarus is two-fold though, punishment and jail. Demonreach is just a storage.
That said, I'm sure noone sane has tested this theory (although the Gatekeeper came pretty close in Turn Coat).
BrainFireBob:
If time or reality are a toroid, inside Demonreach might be outside the Outer Gates.
That's if my WAG is correct, that the main purpose of Demonreach and the Warden is to contain the Nemesis-corrupted. So he's the counter-intelligence inside man, the cavalry for the Gatekeeper.
In which case, my other WAG- that it bleeds power deliberately from its prisoners, and that this is the true source of the ley line- might be it bleeding off the "cleaned" power.
Also, that the summoning circle exists for an ascension ritual for in extremis emergencies for the Warden.
AClone:
Given that text indicates that Demonreach's prisoners include "Dark Gods", I'm willing to entertain the possibility that "mere" Titans could be imprisoned there.

I found myself wondering how that would work. The one ascension ritual that Harry knows involves necromancy, and absorbing the life of ghosts and other undead spirits. I'm fairly sure there aren't many dead people in the island.
Perhaps there is another ritual that only involves "spirit" power, and I'd guess that either the spirit of the island--or Alfred--would suffice. However, I'd think that sucking the power from either would be counterproductive to the Warden's responsibilities. And I'm pretty sure that Alfred would...quibble.
Then there is the fact that if the Warden were to ascend to godhood, he'd probably find himself opposed by thirty or forty beings of the same power level. Not to mention all of the "lesser" beings.
I suspect that someone, somewhen here has calculated just how many could be imprisoned every few feet in twelve tunnels a "mile or two" long.
After all, I recall that someone did make a good estimate of just what Harry's share of the diamonds was actually worth!

There's the one he encountered in Welcome to the Jungle.
It's really hard to figure out how much those diamonds would be worth because we don't know the size and quality of the diamonds and the diamond market is not exactly open. The estimates can range anywhere from "never have to work again if you're careful with your money" to "rivals the wealth of the poorest nations." Those were some good discussions.

Small enough that a stream of them seems to flow like water.
Large enough that a box of them, NOT moving, isn't mistaken for any other small crystals.
Is that helpful?
And absolutely top quality, because Hades.
