It's Jay Garrick the twin of Hunter Zolomon. Jay was born to the Zolomons but was swapped and adopted by a member of the Garrick family, Henry Allen's family. When Hunter became a speedster so did Jay but he kept Jay locked up because he's also a speedster and needed his Speed Force to cure himself of Velocity-6 illness. Ever question how why Hunter was so much faster than Barry initally and knew he needed Speed Force to cure himself, I have always doubted that the Velocity-6 which was only balanced when Caitlin fixed the formula made Zoom so much faster, but if he already had Jay's speed on top of his own plus a little extra from Velocity-6 that would explain it. Maybe Jay's speed force wasn't enough and that's why he needed Barry's. Also note that the prisoner is in a carbine cell specifically to counter metahuman powers.
