Traits: Penal Colony
Affiliation: United Federation of Planets
Location: Varies
Description:
In the mid-23rd century, the penal systems of the United Federation of Planets shifted focus from incarceration and punishment to humane rehabilitation, made possible by new technologies and drug therapies. Until promising therapies were developed, those few criminally-insane beings deemed incurable and incorrigible were kept in the secure isolation of Asylum facilities.

Federation Penal Colonies are designed to provide a safe and secure environment for convicted criminals while also offering them the opportunity to receive education, therapy, and job training to prepare them for successful reintegration into society upon release. These facilities are equipped with advanced medical and psychological resources to ensure the well-being and safety of both the inmates and staff.

Notes:
Federation Penal Colonies serve as a reminder of the United Federation of Planets’ commitment to justice, rehabilitation, and the well-being of all its citizens. While some may view these facilities as too lenient, they have proven effective in reducing recidivism rates and helping former inmates successfully reintegrate into society.

Hmm… interesting. I suppose Utopia Planitia doesn’t have rules for planetary installations, so you can’t really use those.
Though this makes me wonder what Facility 4028 would have in terms of stats, given that it is essentially Starfleet’s Supermax Prison (which was probably around a long time before it appeared in STO.
