Anything that didn't attract a mandatory death sentence. The British government simply couldn't make room for all the prisoners they weren't able to legally execute. The nice notion that convicts were sent to Australia for being kind family men stealing a loaf of bread to feed their starving families is a pretty picture, but in reality transportees were a pretty rough lot, as were their guards. When it became clear some further amenities were needed in the penal colony - and prisons were still overcrowded - the British began shipping women out; these women were also a pretty rough lot, by all accounts. But people adapt, and many of the transportees married, started businesses and became productive members of the new colony.
