Penal colony
From Hidden Frontier
Penal colonies are remote prison facilities with characteristics that vary in accordance with the needs and philosophies of their governing cultures. Typically, a sentence to a penal colony differs from normal incarceration by charging the inmate to perform a service or labor, or to help facilitate their own rehabilitation.
