10 Deadliest Alien Prisons In Doctor Who

7. Space Jail (Revolution Of The Daleks)

Doctor Who Peter Capaldi Heaven Sent
BBC

Referred to as 'Space Jail' throughout its appearance in 2021's Revolution of the Daleks, this maximum security supermax boasted a horde of familiar characters as inmates - including the Doctor.

79 billion light-years away from Earth, the Thirteenth Doctor found herself imprisoned in this high-tech facility by pursuing Judoon. Attempting to recapture the mysterious 'forgotten' incarnation of the Doctor in 2020's Fugitive of the Judoon, these lumbering space cops finally teleported into the TARDIS at the end of the last series and slapped some handcuffs on the Doc.

Forced to serve a lifetime of imprisonment for 7000 additional charges, the Doctor remained in this asteroid-shaped Space Jail for several decades until she was rescued by Captain Jack Harkness and his temporal-freezing gateway disinhibitor bubble.

Also contained within this supermax were some of the Doctor's old foes, who she had begun assigning nicknames to during her confinement. These included 'Bonnie and Clyde' - an Ood and a Sycorax - as well as 'Tiny' the Pting, 'Angela' the Weeping Angel, a Skithra, a Thijarian, a Cyberman, and a lone Silent.

It's unclear as to how these creatures were captured and contained - especially the Weeping Angel - but presumably, they were serving similar sentences to the Doctor. Perhaps we'll see more of this facility when the Judoon uncover the Doctor's jailbreak.
