It has been postulated that the insubordiation of the guards in the stockade
could be explained if it were in fact a regular civilian jail.  If that's so,
why would Sulu flash his Star Fleet ID at them?  It also doesn't make much
sense for an off duty Star Fleet security fellow to haul McCoy to a civvie
jail for mouthing off about an area restricted by Star Fleet.  I think the
guards were just insubordinate, and under different circumstances, Kirk 
probablly would've strung them up by their thumbs for their behavior.
