Labor camp
From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference
Labor camps are forced work environments.
The Cardassians kept labor camps on Bajor during the Occupation. In these labor camps operation was often aided by collaborators and some of the attractive women from the camps were taken to be comfort women for Cardassian soldiers. Bajoran religion within the camps was prohibited. Conditions in the camps were often brutal and hostile and the camps were often the targets for liberation by the Bajoran Resistance.
The Cardassians also used labor camps as punishment against Cardassian criminals. Doctor Parmak was one such person incarcerated. (DS9: "The Die is Cast")
- Cardassian labor camps were most likely overseen by a Prefect.
The Romulans and the Breen also used labor camps. Fallit Kot was incarcerated for eight years in a Romulan camp for stealing a shipment of Romulan ale in 2362. In 2366, the Breen attacked a Cardassian ship, and used its crew to mine dilithium on Dozaria. (DS9: "Melora", "Indiscretion")
