Prison is one of several forms of punishment, where an individual is shut up against his will, after committing a crime. Prisons aboard starships and starbases are known as brigs, which are typically used as short-term prisons, or for the containment of unprocessed fugitives.
Klingon philosophy indicates that, if taken prisoner, a Klingon would rather kill themselves rather than be held prisoner, unless there are enemies to fight or hope of escape. (DS9: "In Purgatory's Shadow")
Types of prisons
Noted prisons
Argrathi
The Argrathi Authority use prisons that are, in reality, an interactive program that creats an artificial reality filled with memories of things that never actually happened, modelled to fit each offender's personality. The Argrathi use this form of punishment as they find it more efficient and more effective than maintaining an extensive prison system.
Miles O'Brien was incarcerated in an Argrathi prison for 20 cycles he experienced several horrific memories. In recalling his memories, he explained that the Argrathi guards did not care whether or not their prisoners lived or died, noting that sometimes they would starve the prisoners for days to weeks at a time. O'Brien learned to adapt to this situation by eating as little as possible and saving the rest, following the times that he was actually fed.
The Argrathi also demanded that all offenders have a dormancy period each night. Their policies indicated that "any offender still active during the dormancy period will be disciplined." Death, as a form of discipline, was not uncommon. (DS9: "Hard Time")
Dominion
The Dominion converted an ultritium mine, located on an asteroid, into a prison that was later referred to as Internment Camp 371. This conversion included the addition of a dome and the consolidation of the mining barracks, which each formerly had its own life support system embedded in the walls. (DS9: "By Inferno's Light")
- According to the writers guide for the episode "In Purgatory's Shadow": "The Dominion isn't big on prisons, or on taking prisoners for that matter." Those that are imprisioned are usually "an elite group of P.O.W.s, people who the Dominion is especially curious about." This would seem to be somewhat supported with the confinement of Benjamin Sisko in "The Jem'Hadar".
