Another Dimension that is largely used for the sole purpose of imprisoning someone or something.
Has shades of Pocket Dimension and Tailor-Made Prison. See also Phantom Zone, Sealed Evil in Another World and Sealed Evil in a Can.
If this dimension is an afterlife, it's most likely some variant of Hell.

In His Dark Materials, the afterlife is revealed to be a huge prison camp for the souls of every sentient being of the Multiverse, where residents are slowly driven insane by psychological torture to the point Cessation of Existence is an improvement.

The No Zone in Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) is pretty much made up of a typical prison for villains who prove to be a threat to The Multiverse. Even alternate doppelgangers enforce that and wonky gravity to prevent the prisoners from escaping!

Angel has a few examples:
A dimension where Ax-Crazy Straw Misogynist Billy Blim was trapped until Angel was blackmailed by Wolfram & Hart into breaking him out.
A "holding dimension" described as the Senior Partners' version of a penalty box that resembles a US suburban town, in which inmates are stripped of their memories, spend time with a fake family, and then have their hearts cut out by a demon in a vicious cycle.

Mechamato: A variant, there are digital spaces primarily used to imprison bad robots.
After Rubika installs himself into Amato's Mechaniser, the device is able to capture bad robots inside of it, which is convenient since they were being held in Amato's garage and house until then. They appear in cages on the user interface after being sucked into it, but a view from the inside shows it to be an open space where all the bad robots can move around.
Rubika had King Boxel trapped inside the digital space of a tablet for a century. In episode 12, a monkey plays with the tablet and accidentally sets him free.

Injustice: Gods Among Us: If the player completes arcade mode, a cutscene will show Regime Superman being sucked into the Phantom Zone's portal at the Fortress of Solitude. As he desperately tries to escape, he sees memories of the events leading to his Face–Heel Turn before being pulled in by a demon. Superman is then seen trapped inside a crystal, screaming in anguish as he is sent further into the Zone. This is also his fate in Injustice 2 if the player picks the Absolute Justice ending, where he tells Batman that he will make a comeback even if he's permanently depowered. Batman states that he'll be ready the day Superman escapes the Phantom Zone.

The SCP Foundation has a few of these.
SCP-2701 is a prison cell that is a portal to a prison dimension where inhabitants are subjected to total sensory deprivation. Not only that, but time passes much more slowly in the cell than in our dimension, and prisoners are essentially immortal. The prison warden, grief-stricken and angry after the murder of his daughter, eventually "sentences" all of his prisoners to the cell. One isn't scheduled for release until the 34th century -- our time.
SCP-2317 is slowly revealed over multiple entries to be one of these for a massive humanoid creature imprisoned in a spherical cavern beneath its desert landscape. Turns out that six of the seven chains binding it are broken and it's all but guaranteed to break out and destroy the world within a century. The Foundation can't even re-imprison it because they'd need the bones of a similar entity to fashion new chains and they have no idea how to find one much less kill it.

At the start of the first season, a prison Space Station leaves the zone and crashes into Earth, letting all the prisoners escape, the better to create many an early Monster of the Week.

The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes uses the Negative Zone Prison idea from the comic book Civil War arc, but instead casts it as the prison that Hank Pym, Tony Stark, and Reed Richards create after a massive prison break freed all the supervillains from the four old Super-prisons. Each inmate gets an 8x8 Cell and a personal Ultron Robot Warden. Many of the Avengers consider the idea morally questionable but don't have good answers when asked for a better idea.

Dungeons & Dragons:
The Tarterian Depths of Carceri is home to the universe's traitors and exiles. It's not the worst of the Lower Planes (if you can survive the malice and backstabbing of its inhabitants), but while there are numerous portals linking to it, there are almost no ways out of the plane save for the River Styx, which is a dangerous route at best.
Other planes aren't solely dedicated to imprisoning people but have their own ways of sealing away problems. One layer of the Abyss is called the Wells of Darkness after the liquid-filled pits that imprison an assortment of godlings and demons, patrolled by undead that can kill with a gaze. The plane of Pandemonium consists of wind-blasted tunnels that grow narrower as one moves down through its layers, and it's rumored that various horrible creatures (or great treasures) have been sealed inside hidden vaults within the lowest layer's depths.
Belierin, Elysium's swampy second layer, is a rare heavenly example. Long ago, a war party of guardinals came across the Hydra, the immortal paragon of hydras everywhere. They were unable to kill the immensely powerful monster, but also couldn't allow it to roam the planes at will, and thus decided to teleport it to Belierin. They then closed off the layer, making portals or planar travel to and from it impossible — the only way out is through the river Oceanus, which crosses the layer, but the Hydra cannot stand the touch and smell of its waters. The guardinals have developed a tendency to use Belierin as a prison for other evil beings that they can't destroy, and nobody but them is quite sure of how many monsters have been put into that particular can by now.

Like its comic book counterpart, the Speed Force from The Flash (2014) is a Pocket Dimension that acts like a prison. Over the course of the show, Savitar, Wally West, Jay Garrick, and Barry Allen have taken turns as prisoners within, and a speedster is actually needed to keep the energies of the Speed Force in check or else it will threaten The Multiverse. The Speed Force can even send agents to capture anomalies (usually time-displaced speedsters) akin to a parole officer.

The Elder Empire: The world of Asylum is an entire universe dedicated to imprisoning six Class-1 Fiends, nigh-incomprehensible and unkillable entities from the Void. The problem is that an Iteration needs living human souls in order to remain healthy and, importantly for Asylum, safe from the Void. So there are millions of innocent people trapped in this world who have been constantly used as playthings for evil gods for millennia. Word of God is that the Abidan (who trapped the Fiends) assumed they'd kill off humanity in a few centuries and let the world fall into the Void, which would be an annoyance for the Fiends but ultimately not a huge problem. Instead, they proved patient enough to keep the humans alive so that they could scheme and hopefully escape fully.

The Murder-Free Hotel: "Gay baby jail" is a Pocket Dimension full of weighted blankets where the Host can send anyone if they're causing too much trouble. Stew was sent there for a time after attempting suicide over being apparently upstaged by Pamela, and the Spy was sent afterwards for criticizing the Host's decision to do this. Much later, after Vivi gets the pink smoke, she also sends Hydroxyl there, after it's evident that many of the Hotel's residents cannot live peacefully with him around.

The Phantom Zone mini-series tells how Jor-El discovered the Phantom Zone, and believing exile in a pocket dimension was more humane and cheaper of a punishment than killing or rocketing criminals into space, he built the Phantom Zone Projector to send them into the Zone.
In Last Son, General Zod traps Superman in the Phantom Zone.
At the end of The Great Phantom Peril, Superman sends Faora Hu-Ul and all Kryptonian rogues back into the Phantom Zone.
At the end of The Death of Superman (1961), Lex Luthor is sent into the Phantom Zone forever.

Luthor also throws into his trap a bunch of Doomsday clones so the Supers are being permanently hunted down. However, Supergirl throws one Doomsday down an endless tunnel, and it does not return. Superman ponders it may be a way to get rid of the Doomsdays.
The Leper from Krypton: Subverted. Superman is dying from an alien disease that will him within hours, and Supergirl comes up with the idea of sending him into the Phantom Zone, where nobody can age or die until a cure can be found. The Phantom Zoners do not want Superman to be saved, though, so they use their combined mental power to set up a barrier that Superman cannot pierce through.
Supergirl (1984): Zaltar is banished to the Phantom Zone in punishment for stealing the Omegahedron, one of Argo City's life support systems.

The Prison Realm from Jujutsu Kaisen is a special-grade cursed object, capable of trapping a single person in a dimension surrounded by an impenetrable barrier, which prevents the victim from moving or using cursed energy. Taking down the barrier from the outside is difficult; escaping once trapped is impossible, even for Satoru Gojo.

Several in Magic: The Gathering:
Zendikar didn't start out as one, and indeed it mostly isn't, since its denizens are capable of living their lives (as much as you can in a Death World, at least), and planeswalkers can come and go as they please. However, centuries before the current day of the story, three powerful planeswalkers manipulated the plane's leylines in order to imprisoned the immensely powerful Eldrazi here. They are freed by accident by Nissa Revane.
Ixalan is one for planeswalkers. The presence of an immensely powerful artifact known as the Golden Sun (made by one of the same planeswalkers that imprisoned the Eldrazi) prevents planeswalking out of the plane. Planeswalkers who end up here by accident are stuck, and native planeswalkers can barely get a glimpse of the blind eternities before being pulled back.
Bolas' Meditation Realm becomes one at the end of War of the Spark. Originally a plane for Bolas to meditate and consider his planes, it is hijacked by Ugin, its original creator, and used to imprison a severely weakened and crippled Nicol Bolas.

Brawlhalla has Terminus, previously the only mine in the multiverse that contained the dangerous ore known as Darkheart. Because of how dangerous it was, the gods folded it into its own dimension to both quarantine the ore and to have a place to banish the undesirables. One of the playable characters, Petra, was born and grew up in Terminus and was entered to Brawlhalla by the rather rebel vakyrie, Brynn, because of how much of a warrior she was.

Arrowverse
Like its comic book counterpart, the Speed Force from The Flash (2014) is a Pocket Dimension that acts like a prison. Over the course of the show, Savitar, Wally West, Jay Garrick, and Barry Allen have taken turns as prisoners within, and a speedster is actually needed to keep the energies of the Speed Force in check or else it will threaten The Multiverse. The Speed Force can even send agents to capture anomalies (usually time-displaced speedsters) akin to a parole officer.
Supergirl has the Phantom Zone. Like in Smallville, it houses other types of alien criminals as well as Kryptonians. At the start of the first season, a prison Space Station leaves the zone and crashes into Earth, letting all the prisoners escape, the better to create many an early Monster of the Week.

Goblins in the Castle: Goblins on the Prowl reveals the existence of the Pit of Thogmoth, "a terrifying place of fire and demons" beneath Nilbog, which was sealed shut by a collaboration of humans and goblins in order to keep the demons prisoner inside. The villain of Goblins on the Prowl is seeking to reopen it, which is explained during the final battle as his wanting to reunite with his demon kin inside.

In Yu-Gi-Oh!, the Shadow Realm is often used this way when a duelist loses against an evil Millennium Item wielder. Similar are the cards that Pegasus uses to imprison the souls of Seto and Mokuba Kaiba.

The Phantom Zone mini-series tells how Jor-El discovered the Phantom Zone, and believing exile in a pocket dimension was more humane and cheaper of a punishment than killing or rocketing criminals into space, he built the Phantom Zone Projector to send them into the Zone.

The Leper from Krypton: Subverted. Superman is dying from an alien disease that will him within hours, and Supergirl comes up with the idea of sending him into the Phantom Zone, where nobody can age or die until a cure can be found. The Phantom Zoners do not want Superman to be saved, though, so they use their combined mental power to set up a barrier that Superman cannot pierce through.

The "trap books" in Myst work this way, designed to capture greedy interlopers. Riven explains that they are Linking Books that seem to lead to another world, but have flaws in them that prevent the link from being completed, leaving the traveler trapped in a featureless void with only the book's viewing panel to look out of, if they're so lucky that the book remains open. Anyone foolish enough to try the link after this would trade places with the trapped one. Later games retconned this so that the "trap books" were merely stable links to other worlds that contained no way back.
