The 100 Trivia:

The Ark is a conglomeration of 12 space stations that represented Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, India, Japan, Russia, Spain, the United Kingdom, the United States, Venezuela, and Uganda. The 100 TV show is based on a book also titled "The 100" by Kass Morgan. It's the first in a series. The second book in the series is titled, "Day 21".

There were problems on the Ark even before the life support issues. Food, water and other resources were extremely scarce. Laws were passed that called for the death penalty for any adult who committed any crime regardless of its seriousness. Stealing food to feed your starving child would get you killed! The offender would be simply dumped out into space without a spacesuit! "The 100" came from the minors who had committed such "crimes".
