Callisto

Callisto is the second-largest moon of Jupiter. It is named for the mythical Human demigoddess Callisto, who was seduced by the king of the gods. The moon has a subsurface ocean approximately 200 kilometres below its ice-covered surface, and displays no tectonic activity. Callisto is the least populated of the Jovian moons, with only a few isolated ice mining bases on the surface, and a minor orbital of the Sol Habitat Complex in orbit. It also hosts the United Nations Callisto Maximum Security Correctional Facility (CALMAX), which is the highest security prison in the United Nations of Earth. It houses convicted terrorists, spies, war criminals, serial killers, and any other inmate who is too dangerous to be kept in other prisons.
