Colonist Rights #5

Separation of Penal system


An existing self-sufficient colony can not be converted to penal colony status. This would be a great inconvenience to the industry, agriculture, and citizens of the colony.


Penal colonies may exist as seperate, govermentally run settlements and must never be self-sufficient. It is envisioned that once a penal colony reaches self-sufficient status either the convicts will be transported to a new colony or the colony will be granted independence to be run according to this charter.


A labor intensive penal colony will be one of the following types:



  1. Low Security: Maintenance and EVO-type duties

  2. Medium Security: Terraforming, on-site development of new colonies

  3. High Security: Trade Goods manufacturing


Expansion of this list is expected to occur as technology improves. It is advised that penal colonies be administered by a multi-governmental body to prevent violations of this charter.
