Thanks. I added this to my notes. In the meantime, I found two more punis=
hment-related Trek references:
- "You can't turn me over to the Klingons! They don't just imprison you...=
Do you know what the punishment is for fraud?" (Yranac [a terrified Yridia=
n who had twelve outstanding arrest warrants for fraud and petty theft in t=
he Klingon Empire] to Riker, TNG "Gambit Pt. I")
- "You are on your way to judgment, to final punishment." (Bele to Lokai, =
TOS "Let That Be Your Last Battlefield")
