In 2152, the Tandaran military operated one on their moon. There, they detained a number of innocent Suliban for the chance that they might be members of the Cabal.(ENT episode: "Detained")
During the Cardassian's Occupation of Bajor, they operated interment camps on Bajor itself and on Velos VII. (DS9 - The Maquis: Soldier of Peace comic: "Victims of Deceit"; DS9 episode: "Babel")
In the Gamma Quadrant, the Dominion used camps for their enemies. The main law in these camps were "there is no release, no escape... except death." They also kept individuals that were replaced by Changeling infiltrators. One camp was Internment Camp 371. (DS9 episode: "In Purgatory's Shadow")
