“…Internal transportation became reserved for the most heinous crimes, a network of local penitentiaries having been set up to cater for lesser crimes (Parramatta Female Factory, Hyde Park Barracks and Sydney Gaol), 53 to such an extent that the concept of "carceral constellation" was used to describe these arrangements. 54 In these new penal settlements, a disciplinary system based on surveillance, classification and control, labour, punishment and rewards, reformation and education, combined elements of Bentham's panoptic regime in the Antipodes. 55 While the new regimes controlled some of the arbitrariness of the previous period, especially the difference in treatment among convicts, they lost a great amount of freedom.…”

Contrary to the American transportation scheme, convicts were not stripped of their rights to be sold by ship captains to private masters as indentured servants, but remained in the care of the Governor of New South Wales. 44 Unless they were assigned to a private master, convicts worked under a task work system whereby they were expected to complete tasks for the government, before they could go about their own business, growing their own provisions and living in their own homes. 45 The transportation system was seen both as a mode of punishment and as a way of supplying free labour to the developing colonies. 46 The confinement of convicts in barrack in Sydney was only introduced in 1819.
