: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.
