(Thank you wookieepedia! http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Hoth )
Located on the fringe of the Ivax Nebula in the Anoat Sector of the Greater Javin along the Ison Corridor, Hoth orbited the blue-white star Hoth on a wide elliptical orbit. Beyond Hoth was a large asteroid belt, known as the Hoth Asteroid Field, from which small asteroids regularly broke off, crashing onto Hoth's surface as meteorites.
The planet consisted of a molten metallic core with dichotomous crust. Its surface was entirely covered by a frozen ocean, except where volcanic fissures opened up steam vents, depositing rock and minerals in darker patches on the glacier planes. A few mountain ranges pierced the permanent ice shelves, some being geologically active.
The tidal pull of Hoth's three nameless moons caused fissures in the ice-layers, sending jets of ocean water into the freezing Hoth air. The intense cold froze these jets into spires of ice, suspending primitive ocean algae within these tall columns and glaciers. Massive oceanic currents beneath the southern hemisphere caused regular seismic activity, resulting in a constantly shifting landscape of caves and tunnels. Buried deep in Hoth's equatorial region was a fissure, reaching hundreds of meters towards the core of the planet. In this area never exposed to Hoth's blue-white sun was a cache of lumni-spice, a rare fungal growth.
Its orbit and axial tilt resulted in consistently icy weather patterns. Daytime temperatures reached levels unbearable to most species and rarely rose above freezing, even in the planet's relatively mild equatorial regions. The gale force winds and intense snowstorms that regularly wracked the windswept surface magnified the extreme cold of Hoth.
The frigid biosphere included a minimal food chain: the predator wampas, the omnivorous tauntauns, the herbivorous Hoth hogs, a few rodent species, including snowmice and ice scrabblers, and iceworms, lichens, and Dragon Slugs.
The average planetary temperature was around -61ºC; however at the ISM's position, located near the planet's northern pole, the night-time like temperatures get as low as -85ºC regularly.

ISM Hoth is an Imperial penitentiary, comprising a 50 acre complex located deep in the ice of Hoth's Northern pole. It is the only Imperial penatenry of its kind, designed to hold the worst of the worst or anyone considered to be a high risk to the galaxy.
ISM Hoth generally houses around 500 prisoners, each assigned to one of six security levels. ISM Hoth was designed by the RGE and is meant to be un-escapeable
As a result of their crimes, most individuals are kept for at least 23 hours each day in solitary confinement. They are housed in a 2.1m by 3.7m room, built behind a cortosis door and beskar lined walls. Ysalamiri are housed in protective cages inside the prisoner cells behind a .5m piece of transparent durasteel to make sure prisioners don't try to escape with aid of the force. Their free hour is spent exercising alone in a separate duracrete chamber with another ysalamiri. Prisoners seldom see one another, and the inmates' only direct interaction is with correctional officers or other prison staff. Personal visitation from outside the prison is forbidden. Religious services are broadcast from a small chapel.
Most of the cells' furniture is made almost entirely out of poured duracrete, including the desk, stool, and bed. Each chamber contains a refresher that shuts off if plugged, a shower that runs on a timer to prevent flooding, and a sink missing a potentially dangerous trap. Rooms may also be fitted with polished durasteel mirrors bolted to the wall, an electric light, a radio, and a television set that shows recreational, educational and religious programming. These privileges can be taken away as punishment. The 10 cm by 1.2 m windows are designed to prevent the prisoner from knowing their specific location within the complex, like it would matter anyway since all that can be seen through them is the eternal night sky of Hoths North Pole. Communication with the outside world is forbidden, and food rations are hand-delivered by correctional officers.
A garrison of B2 Super battle droids and Droideka destroyer droids guard the prisoners while the prison as a whole contains a multitude of motion detectors and cameras, 1,400 remote-controlled cortosis doors, and multiple drop out blaster turrents. Laser beams and pressure pads activate the system that guards the the prison. There are no guard towers outside of the facility, seeing as the fatal cold will quickly kill anyone dumb enough to attempt an escape.

The darkness of the north pole blankets the skies as landing lights flicker from the Imperial T-2c Theta-class shuttle goes to land in the hangar bay of the SuperMax facility. B2 super battle driods are on hand to unload the prisoner Iguni and welcome him as the facilities first illustrious tenant. With their blaster rifles at the ready, stormtroopers escort the prisoner towards the turbolift. The Imperial Agent smiles as he walks next to Iguni. "Welcome to Hoth. Something to take notice of is our security perimeter, considering it doesn't get any warmer than -85C up here in the pole I don't think you are dumb enough to try and escape."
"Or maybe he is and we just don't realize it." the officer carrying the ysalamiri as he walks behind them.
"Possibly." the agent says as he then turns to Iguni. "So tell me slime, are you the dumb?"

The Agent leads Iguni into his cell and throws him inside rather roughly. "Good thing for us, that from here on out, we won't need to know."
The portal slams shut behind Iguni and once again he hears the order "hands". The guard undoes his cuffs and the troopers leave, handing the code cylinder to Iguni's cell to the Imperial agent. He looks at it for a a little and looks at Inguni over his shoulder with a smile as he walks for the portal. "I wonder if we can't manage to loose this?"

I swear to god if you lose that I'm going to wreck each and everyone of you.
*he goes into a corner and bangs his head into the wall until a piece of the wall breaks off, he takes the piece of broken wall and begins to dig behind his bed so that the guards can't see him*

*after hours of digging he breaks through the floor and into the soil under the floor. After another 4 hours of digging he has made a tunnel leading from his cell to outside of the prison, once he feels he's good 200 yards away from the prison he begins his dig back to the surface. Once at the surface he pokes his head out and looks around, making sure the coast is clear he hops out of the hole and calls for a ship. He doesn't wait for long before a ship comes and takes him away*

(( lol, just a few small problems with your post man. I will not comment on all the problems, just the initial one. The walls are lined with beskar, so the likelyhood of you banging you head against the wall and breaking off a piece is a little far fetched. ))

The Imperial agent returns to Iguni's cell, the ever present smugness is strewn across his face. As he comes to the door a voice calls out "Back against the wall."

*looks up* My back is against the wall. Oh you mean stand up, sorry. *stands up straight against the wall*

The door opens with a stormtrooper entering the room first, then the Imperial Agent who is now wearing an Imperial uniform. He stands there and smirks at Iguni. "We have received a com from the Imperial tribunal over looking you case. One of your victims has stated they wish for your banisment from known space."
His tone is ever arrogant as he turns around to face away from Iguni. "That seems interesting enough a punishment dont you think?"

The stormtrooper puts his blaster rifle to Iguni's temple to make him stop. Then the Agent turns around. "Yes, slime?"

*freezes, smiles then spits in the agent's face* Nevermind.
So why do you have stormtroopers in here with us? Am I seriously considered that high risk? If so please tell me cause I'll get t shirts made.

The Agent laughs as he wipes the spit from his face. He also laughs at Iguni's comment. "Really, and what will they say? Galaxys dumbest criminal?"
The Agent gives Iguni a disgusted look. "And here I thought you had the guts to escape."
