Penal Colony populations can have a wide range of incarcerated individuals. Some might house a million rapists, murderers, [[heretic]]s, secessionists, thieves, [[mutant]]s and criminals of a thousand other types. All discarded by the Imperium who loathed them.{{Fn|10a}}
Penal Worlds might house minor criminals, such as recidivists, or the worst criminals, such as murderers, rapists, and heretics.
