I don't think they are purposely sending them there, a Penal colony in the future may be to remove the most high risks criminals, such as major terrorists, from the population all together and off world, if possible. I think sometime during the six years they may have made contact with the Ring and are sending the prisoners down to test to see if the earth is habitable again, maybe its the survivors on the ring who gave them the idea of sending the prisoners down. I don't think its aliens as the language is clearly english. And we have to rememeber this is the future and even in 2017 we have plans to build mining colonies by the 2020s and 2030s off planet.
