Compard to our modern day prison cells the Dominion one's look like five star hotel rooms. Although rather nice in quality they are nothing compared to the State housing of the Dominion.

The reason the cells are so nice is a simple one. The Dominion does not believe in jail time in the traditional sense. They believe in working off your crimes in a wide spectrum of ways (None or lethal of course.) For example a man that stole 5,000 credits worth from the government would work that debt off.

Now a penal colony is a place for such people. They still have the same rigths as a civilian but are more restricted in their use. In a penal colony they will work off their debts in manual labor or more bureaucratic labor. This is only for those that owe major amounts of money to the State and given the planet they live on does not have labor that would pay it off in a reasonable amount of time.

Those that cause anything above a hundred thousand credits worth is given another option. They can serve in the Mobile Infantry and pay off what would cost them 30 years in 5. But front line duty is risky of course. These are generally called Debter infantry (Not to be confused with Damned Infantry.)

Note:

As you can see anything other then theft and destruction of property is not listed. You must be wondering why. Rape and Murder are punishable by death. And assault of any kind is solved with lashings or an 'eye for an eye' solution.
