, 1792
Transportation or penal transportation is used to refer to the deportation of
convicted criminals to a penal colony, for example by France to Devil's Island and by the United Kingdom (then including
Ireland) to its colonies in
The Americas, from the 1620s to 1770s, and
Australia between
1788 and
1868. It can also be used generally to describe such activities.
Overview
A Sentence (law) of transportation could apply for life or for a specific period of time. The penal system required the convicts to work, either on government projects such as road construction, building works and mining, or assigned to free individuals as a source of unpaid labour. Women were expected to work as domestic servants and farm labourers.
A convict who had served part of his time might apply for a ticket of leave permitting some prescribed Freedom (political). This enabled some convicts to resume a more normal life, to marry and raise a family, and a few to contribute to the further development of the colonies. Some used the freedom to revert to their previous ways. But
exile was an essential component of the punishment. At one time, returning from transportation was a
hanging offence.{{cite court |litigants=R v Powell

Transportation punished both major and petty crimes in Great Britain and
Ireland from the 17th century until well into the 19th century. At the time it was seen as a more humane alternative to execution (legal), which would most likely have been the sentence handed down to many of those who were transported, if transportation had not been introduced. From the 1620s until the American Revolution the British colonies in North America received transported British criminals, effectively double the period that Australian colonies subsequently received convicts. The American Revolutionary War brought an end to that means of disposal, and with the remaining British colonies in what is now Canada being periously close to the new
United States of America sending people who might easily become hostile to British authorities there was not an option. Thus, the British Government was forced to look elsewhere.
The gaols became more overcrowded and dilapidated ships were brought into service, the 'hulks' moored in various ports as floating gaols.
Transportation from Britain ended officially in 1868, although it had become unusual several years earlier.
In British colonial India, freedom fighters were transported to the Cellular Jail in the
Andaman islands.
British transportation to Australia
In 1787, the "
First Fleet" departed from England, to found the first colony in Australia, as a penal colony. The Fleet's arrival at Port Jackson, on
January 26,
1788 (now
Australia Day) is considered the founding event in the history of
Sydney, as well as New South Wales and modern Australia in general. In 1803,
Tasmania (Tasmania) was also settled as a penal colony, followed by the
Queensland (Queensland) in 1824. The other States and territories of Australia were "free settlements", as non-convict colonies were known. However,
Western Australia adopted transportation in 1851, to resolve a long-standing
Labor shortage. Until the massive influx of free immigrants during the
Australian gold rushes of the 1850s, the settler population was dominated by convicts and their descendants. Transportation continued until 1868, when it was terminated in Western Australia.
