Been wondering, if for example you committed a crime in Antartica, what would happen to you? Are you going to be deported back to your country or serve jail time in Antartica?

A friend of mine was at the Amundsen–Scott South Pole Station one summer conducting atmospheric research, and he heard that one winter many years ago a guy stationed at the station went stir crazy and tried to beat the snot out of someone else. The people there basically built a wooden stockade and locked him in it until summer came and he could be flown back home and face charges.

I have no idea if this story is true or not.
