A convict is an individual serving a sentence in prison. Convicts are also known as prisoners and inmates, and are imprisioned for multiple vilations of law such as rape, murder, piracy, terrorism, and treason. Unlike prisoners of war, convicts are incarcerated by their own peers. Both Humans sentence their convicts to distant labor on penal colonies.

Overview
Before, during, and after the Resource Wars, the United Nations Colonial Marine Corps and the Colonial Marshal Bureau sentenced humans with life imprisonment and capital punishment. Human convicts are implanted with tracking chips and have a bar code stamped on the back of their heads, showcasing their DNA profile, birthdate, blood type, case file reference, crime for conviction, jurisdiction, sentence, and proclivities.
