A penal colony is a settlement used by many different cultures used primarily for detaining and punishing violent criminals.
Those cultures that did not wish, nor offered the option to rehabilitate their prisoners or forcably resettled "colonists", referred to those settlements as gulags or internment camps.
During the 23rd century, the Federation, using methods developed by Doctor Tristan Adams, converted a number of their colonies over to asylums, in attempt to treat the criminally insane, rather than to "cage" them up. From 2246 to 2266, Adams methods revolutionized and humanize prisons and the treatment of prisoners. During that time, James T. Kirk visited a number of these colonies and noted that "they're not cages anymore". He added that "they're clean, decent hospitals for sick minds" more akin to rehab colonies, even described as "resort colonies" (see: asylum). (TOS: "Dagger of the Mind")
The Angosian Lunar V colony was created for its genetically enhanced soldiers who previously participated in the Tarsian War. According to the Angosian government, the soldiers were placed there "for their own protection as well as that of others." Despite the fact that they made every effort to make the colony as amiable for its "colonists" as possible, the fact remained that it was still a prison. (TNG: "The Hunted")
