Vars, your one eyed view of history is both wrong and very badly distorted
It was not only English convicts who where transported to Australia,they came from all the countries of the UK.
Also Brutality was the norm for most penal colonies all over the world.
A lot of convicts had done very little crime to get transported, but with the judicial system being as it was and the jails over flowing it was a solution to a problem.
Some of the best administrators and architects and other fields where former convicts.
