Captain Cook had nothing to do with the convicts. He died nine years before the convicts arrived in New South Wales.

They didnt really do anything to treat the convicts
The First Fleet carried convicts and their military guards, the first free settlers came later and were not convicts
Yes, the cooks fed them all and the doctor treated them all.
There are many types of convicts but the main ones are government service convicts, assigned convicts, expirees, emancipists and ticket of leave convicts.
The escaped convicts were captured.
Military forces were sent to establish a base to prevent a takeover by France, to act as a base to protect the eastern trade route to the East Indies, and to produce naval stores of masts and flax for sails. Settlers were also included to establish as source of foodstuffs. The convicts were initially sent as a labour force for the military base, however Australia later became a dumping ground for convicts to rid Britain of them when they finished their sentences.
No convicts didn't have showers!
The convicts were worked very hard. They constructed the buildings, roads and bridges and quarried the stone for building as well as cutting down the trees. They established the first farms and crops, and tended the livestock. If they did not work, they were flogged or their rations were reduced. Some of the governors (such as Patrick Logan) were harsher than others, flogging the convicts almost mercilessly. Others (such as Lachlan Macquarie) showed the convicts a certain amount of respect, an act which sometimes caused the free settlers to feel somewhat disgruntled.
In 1798 there were no federal military hospitals.
convicts live in prison or jail
