If you check the "use Penal Colonies to enforce enslave policy" check box under empire policies, it will automatically handle it for your, BUT...I have found that the AI generally sets up your second largest colony as the penal colony, then when that is full, it sets your third largest, etc etc.
If you want manual control over where the penal colony is set up here is what you need to do.
1. Set empire overall policy to 'Resettle' for whichever race families you want to send to the penal colony.
2. Go to a planet (if you are already into a game) and under population you will find the options for Population Policy: You have two drop down boxes set them as you want them then click apply this policy to all colonies (IE to resettle).
3. Pick the colony you want as the penal colony (I suggest you have a substantial troop presence there) and set the Population Policies to 'Enslave'. DO NOT click apply this policy to all colonies.
4. Rename the Penal Colony to 'X Penal Colony if you so desire.
5. Sit back and watch as the AI starts moving the undesirables to the penal colony or two your neighbors if you have any that will take them...this will take a long time. They will not move the last 1 million population of the undesirable race though, this is where I generally just set an exterminate policy on a colony by colony basis.
That is exactly how I handle it and it works well.
I've never tested it, so I don't know if with the policy set to resettle if the AI will build colony ships from planets with a majority undesirable population, so keep an eye on it.
Also bear in mind that by not assimilating the other races, you hamper your own empire growth and bonuses, but that is up to you.
