"Station Data: The prison was constructed one kilometer under in surface of the planet as a partial protection of the prisoners. The planet is barely habitable and has forty degrees Celsius in the day light and minus four at night with a slow rotation of planet of sixty hour days. The facility is placed where if the prisoner does escape there is nowhere to escape too.
The prisoners may send as many messages to friends and family and business associates but there messages in and out are reviewed with the thinking that they maybe planning to escape with outside help. The majority of the prisoners are watched via sensors and view screens or through windows with little contact physical with the guards. They each wear ankle monitors that make alerts that alert the guards of the location of the prisoners as they attempt to escape.
Notable stations: Elba IV has a Federation Prison that has a rehabilitation facility that is a Rating 5 (+1) [5 power/round] <25>. The Federation has several other similar facilities spread across the core of the Federation worlds on remote worlds. The Romulan Star Empire has a number similar prison on the fifth moon of a Gas Giant in the Romulus systems.
Notes: Constructed to prevent a large and small scale assaults and attempt on rescuing any of the prisoners, yet the facility is not constructed to keep a prisoner from escaping easily but can be done with some engineering yet to date no one has yet escaped successfully from the faculty let alone the planet.
Creation Notes: Star Trek the Original Series has traveled to a few different prisons slash criminal rehabilitation facilities where there where prisoners that were kept and treated for a mental illness. There would also have to be a prison where the most extreme prisoners would be kept. I used the size sixteen to generate the facility to have at least one kilometer of surface with only a single tower entrance and a if you look at the used SU’s there is notes about the additional material that is on top the station with a resistance of one and acts as ablative armor forcing a ship to burn its way to the station if it wished to destroy it. The Facilities has not only soil but bedrock layered on top. I gave it a rating one but someone could give it three resistances for more protection. A layer of Neutronium rocks or other materials laid on the top of the facility would prevent weapons fire from reaching the Facility if attacked from orbits with resistance increased above the layers.
For a Twenty Fourth century version of the above prison, the shields should be doubled and food replicators and medical systems increased and there is no holodeck’s as they are prisoners being punished but the guards have their own holodeck’s and the rehabilitation.
Let me know what you think."

"It is an interesting start, but a barely habitable rock could still be slowly terraformed by the Federation, or at least put sealed outposts on the planet to handle the longer day/night cycles.
To really make it harder to escape, how about an airless planetoid? For more fun, give it a decaying orbit over a star or gas giant, with a chemical fueled rocket to keep it from falling in. Fuel is delivered via transporter, and there is never enough fuel to set up an orbit that will last longer than 1 month. The only kindness is that the thruster is only on while all the prisoners are inside, verified by life-form scans and video surveillance of their quarters.
The prisoners are expected to go out, mine raw materials, and return with them. They have an EVA suit with chemical thrusters and a limited supply of oxygen, so if they calculate wrong the route back, or decide to stay out too long, they suffocate or drift past the station.
As to the organization that has opposite goals to Section 31 and wants to remain covert, how about the Tal'Shiar or the Obsidian Order? Both of them are interested in weakening the Federation, and their operations will want to remain covert. This person was assigned to infiltrate the prison and determine its location, with a cloaked ship waiting to break him out. The connection is telepathic, though Betazoid and Vulcan guards make it difficult (a Medusan would make it impossible).
The goal of the traitor is to allow the ship to gather recruits from the station, though an antimatter bomb on the outside will make it difficult to be rescued."
