penal colony
has glosseng: A penal colony is a settlement used to exile prisoners and separate them from the general populace by locating them in a remote location, often an island or distant colonial territory. Although the term can be used to refer to a correctional facility located in a remote location it is more commonly used to refer to communities of prisoners overseen by wardens or governors having absolute authority. Historically penal colonies have often been used for penal labour in an economically underdeveloped part of a state's (usually colonial) territories, and on a far larger scale than a prison farm. In practice such penal colonies may be little more than slave communities. The British, French, and other colonial empires heavily used North America and other parts of the world as penal colonies to varying degrees, sometimes under the guise of indentured servitude or similar arrangements.

Meaning
Danish
has glossdan: En straffekoloni var et koloniseret område, der blev drevet med straffefanger som arbejdskraft. Fordelene var mange - fangerne kunne ikke flygte tilbage til det samfund, de kom fra, og deres arbejdskraft kunne udnyttes på en måde, der måske ikke var velset i hjemlandet. Omkostningerne var selvfølgelig transporten til kolonien.
