have asked permission from the author to revive this discussion about the Spanish Sahara colony. While I do believe there could have been pods that made the colony more attractive for Spanish subjects I'm not advocating for it to be the next Silicon Valley. This impoverished area for economic development first comes through the transfer of lawbreakers through a criminal justice system through correctional facilities. After all a better way of retribution is placing offenders in the most inhospitable destination throughout the Spanish empire where the local residents have very little choice but to either be a corrections officer or labor through other employment opportunities within the institution. Prisons have been known for suffering from staffing issues so this may be an ideal candidate to place a penal camp.
1 it's closer to Spain than Spanish Guinea let far away enough to prevent some of the offenders from returning back to their country of birth. As Spain may allow some offenders to return back home some convicts would be confined to Colony such as some political prisoners
2 A lot of funding goes into the prison system which in return creates and drives an artificial economy this raises the question of employment opportunities now being hatched with the opportunism of government institutions. Asylums in the 19th century acted a little more as penitentiaries so it shouldn't come to much surprise if some asylums were placed in Spanish Sahara to house some of its worst patients.
Finally, the incentives are irrelevant in this colony if the colonists can't find a job. However, the colony can grant stimuli to subjects living under pensions. In Alaska, the federal government provides tax break incentives to its settlers similar actions could be granted in undesirable areas of the Spanish empire. I might purpose a pod where Spain 🇪🇸 isn't as weak and perhaps obtains the colony sooner granting it the additional likelihood for the colony to be put to use under Spain's limited historical economic revival which could give birth to greater stability in this pod.
As a corrections officer with firsthand experience, there were some commitments I had that felt like it was a punishment so perhaps there could be programs to allow the officers to feel appreciated or thankful to live in the desert colony. So prisons may not want to hire people who have served time but it can still happen depending how desperate a facility is. Perhaps a future program could be to rally the prisoners in this penal colony, and let them randomly dig and search for fossils or better yet prospecting
