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.
