Convicts were sent to Australia for a term of seven or fourteen years, or "for the term of his/her natural life" - that is, a life sentence.
Very few of them ever returned to their home country, even those who had 7 year sentences, because there were better opportunities for them in Australia.

Convicts to Australia were transported for seven years, fourteen years, twenty-one years or the term of their natural life.
Around the time of the first fleet, 1788, sentences for convicts were usually for 7 or 14 years. Severe cases were transported to Australia "for the term of their natural life" . However, many convicts stayed in Australia life as they built entirely new lives in Australia. Opportunities for pardoned convicts were very good, and many went on to become leaders in the new, young colony.

Transportation of convicts to Australia ended when the last convict ship left Britain in 1867 and arrived in Australia on 10 January 1868. This ship, the "Hougoumont", brought its final cargo of 269 convicts to Western Australia, as New South Wales had abolished transportation of convicts in 1840. The punishment wasn't formally abolished till the 1890s. In other words it fell into disuse long before it was abolished.

There were basically two types: in many southern European countries you could be sentenced to the galleys, whose rowers always had a large contingent of convicts. Although the popular Hollywood image of these convict rowers being constantly belabored by guys with whips was a gross exaggeration, living conditions for the convicts were harsh and the work could be backbreaking. The second type were the sailing ships that transported convicts to colonies such as Australia. These ships basically were normal freighters, slightly adapted for the transport of people instead of cargo.Living conditions at the time on ships making very long journeys were always hard. Burt the mortality rates amongst the convicts and the ship's crew differed little.
