Star Trek Prisons & Penal Colonies

Star Trek TOS on IMDb

Which Star Trek episodes deal with prisons, mental institutions, penal colonies, and such? S1.E9 and S3.E14 seem to fit the bill. There may be several others, or in which such corrective institutions feature strongly.

I think it might be interesting to categorize all the TOS episodes in terms of what they focus on, i.e., political satire, crime & punishment, alien civilization / societal satire, existential parody. Star Trek seems to be pretty blasé about ideas such as having to lock people up, etc.
