Prison ship
From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference
A prison ship is a starship that acts as a prison. Most times, such vessels were used to transport criminals from one prison or detention facility to another to serve out their sentence.
Prison ships operated by the Nygeans were used in such a fashion. (VOY: "Repentance")
Jonathan Archer and his chief engineer Charles Tucker III were once prisoners on an Enolian transport serving as a prison ship. (ENT: "Canamar")
