Coffining

Coffining, also known as Drifting and Spacing, is a form of punishment usually meted out by mob bosses, merc leaders and other unsavory characters. The victim is locked into a small habitat or space suit and set adrift in the void, usually with enough life support to last weeks if not months. More elaborate forms of punishment keep the victim alive for extended periods of time, all the while unable to contact anyone or escape the dark loneliness of space.
