I see that there has been a Redirect from "Penal Colony" to Gulag.

Why? They're two separate things. The gulags were prison settlements within Russia. they were not colonies.
If you want "penal colonies", come Down Under. We have a range of them. Sydney (Port Jackson) was founded purely as a convict settlement in 1788. It was followed by Hobart in 1804, then Launceston - both in Tasmania - then Brisbane in 1824. I think that by 1825 Norfolk Island had been tried as a prison twice. The first major non-convict colony in Australia was Adelaide in 1836.
