ESA Orbital Penitentiary 6V
ESA Orbital Penitentiary is a one of dozen prison oribital stations that ESA and Interpol maintain in Orbit. These facilities are often automated with a little manned crew. The crew membership are part of Interpol and report directly to that agency. ESA does has some influence in some of the stations, but Interpol operates independently.
Depending on the sentence will determine the confinement. Most of the prisoners serving a year or more senetences are kept in braindance the majority of time. They are given 6-8 hours of exercise/activities on a grav deck. If the prison acts up, they are throw into Zero-G containment for several days up to 2 months. This often weakens the prisoner severely so the automate guards can handle them.
Lighter sentenced prisoners will work in some of the manufacturing sections of the station. These prisoners are closely monitored.
6V is one of the smaller of the penitentiary stations and has 3 sub torrodials. One is for inmate exercise/activity, another is for those inmates about to be released and given more Gs for the transistion, the last is for the Interpol crew.
Defences
Guards patrol and monitor the prisoners for the crew tordial. The majority will rarely go to any of the cell block tordials.
Heavy Guards are members of the guards that have more skills dealing with confrontations with the prisoners. They are equiped with heavy gear to be able to infilitrate riots if they occur onboard, if a prisoner needs to be physically restrain, or any other situation that requires force on the part of the prison guards

Architecture
Penitentiary stations consists of one center capsule with a large torrodial at one end and 2-5 sub-torrodials spinning independently of the main structure. The master torrodial provides inmates with a 0.8g, while the sub torrodials are kept at 1g. There is a compartment above the master torrodial that has the 0g Lockup cells. The sub-torrodials measure between 30-50m radius.
Food, air, and other supplies are shipped to the station. These stations have about 2 weeks worth of supplies, with shipments arriving once a week.
