Prison

Canon Legends version → Linked from 1,003 articles

A prison, also known as a detention block or a jail, was a place where individuals were incarcerated, including specialized buildings or entire planets. Most galactic governments including the Galactic Republic, the Galactic Empire and the New Republic maintained prisons to detain criminals, political dissenters or individuals deemed too dangerous to be allowed into society. Some prisons took the form of factories where the prisoners worked during their sentences; this was known as a work camp, penal work camp or a prison factory. Others, intended for the offenders of the most serious crimes, were known as a supermax prison.
