The New England Federation has little patience for breakers of the peace. Those caught in Federation territory on expired visas are tagged and ordered to go home as soon as possible. Serially dishonest or disruptive individuals are invited to find their fortunes in the colonies unless they reform themselves. Illegal aliens are returned home and their nations billed for the trip. Outright thieves, killers, or rapists are sent to Rikers Planet in the New New York system. Murderers are recycled into the fabricators so they can provide one final service for humanity. That is extremely rare in Federation territory, since malcontents capable of such actions are generally sorted out and sent to the colonies long before they act on their worst natures. This is one way the Federation provides security and peace for its people.
