Ages ago I made an MS Paint drawing for this, but that was back when Photobucket was free and helpful.
The design was like a slinky, but instead of being five points directly above each other, they were spaced so that from above (or below) the slinky, the points were equidistant and formed a pentacle when connected.
Also the prison does have other ties to the number twelve. There were 1,728 steps, or twelve sections of twelve stairways of twelve steps.

Might find this interesting. Found in on the web
The number 12 signifies perfection of government or rule. According to Bible scholars, 12 is the product of 3, which signifies the divine, and 4, which signifies the earthly. The heavenly bodies are also connected to the number 12 since the stars pass through the 12 signs of the zodiac in their heavenly procession. The number 12 has further significance, as it represents authority, appointment and completeness. The number 666 is used to represent the devil and hell, whereas 12, 12, 12 is believed to signify God and heaven. The number 12 is also associated with the government of the cosmos.
Perhaps the 12 sets of sections of 12 stairways and 12 steps in a clue about an Angel being involved with Demon Reach?

A slinky is a circle when looked at along its axis or rotation and thus any figure that can be inscribed within will work. I wish this was an original idea but helical spirals fit the idea of time travel very well and I've seen it in the past somewhere. Maybe here.

The prison was created in five times simultaneously, not twelve times. Also, there's a bit of a discrepancy with 12 vs 13 aisles. In CD, Harry says there are eleven others besides the one that Alfred had just opened. Then in SG, Harry is parkouring in aisle 7 of 13. My guess is that he's counting the stairs to get out of the prison as number 13. It fits more nicely with the geometry that way.

I referred to the flat version. As I have stated to Mira, I don't guess when there is text and I suppose I am obsessive compulsive to that point. The text says 13.

As opposed to Mac's Place where everything adds up to 13, and if we are all correct, Mac is an ex-angel if not an angel.

I've had an odd theory or two on that 13th missing hall. Perhaps it represents a being that's elsewhere but not necessarily separate? 13 has alot of connotations towards death and entropy, and looking at possibilities I like the blackstaff, as it would tie into my DR/=MW theory, and that's the missing piece of her that's not tied down. An of course, nemesis. Not my favorite, but it's there.
*It parallels the grey council, twelve stood united and Harry's the loose cannon, even now. He's never formally met them or been to a meeting, but he's a part of it too.

Maybe but according to Harry those things in Mac's place adding to 13 are a way of disrupting magic.
