Convicts were more susceptible to diseases due to living confined spaces such as barracks. this was different to free settlers because they were able to roam outside where/when ever they wanted.

Punishment for offences committed in the colony included: cat o'nine tails: fifty lashes, and shackles. If convicts continued to cause trouble in Australia, they were transported to harsher and more isolated penal colonies or prisons.

Due to these conditions, rebellions and uprisings became a frequent situation.
