There was not a colony that was founded by prisoners. However, there was a colony founded so that it could be used as a British penal colony. That colony was Georgia.
That would be the colony of Georgia, that was founded by James Oglethorpe, in 1732.
The Georgia colony served as a buffer between the English colonies and the Spanish ones in Florida and southward. The English also used them to, more or less, claim the land that is now Georgia before the Spanish did.
