Look,  in darker times,  long ago where do you think
we sent our worst criminals?   :hahaha:

Well, we got rid of a lot of our religious nuts that way.  And quite a few criminals chose to emigrate to the New World rather than be imprisoned.

P.S.  Squid, it's internment camps, not reservation camps for the Japanese and reservations for the American Indians.

The first settlers in New Orleans were men.  After a short while the governor asked the king to send some women.  Of course, they went to the prison and sent over prostitutes and criminals.  The second group of women sent were the Casket Girls who were girls of good reputation and good families.  Amazingly, not one of the first group of women settlers ever reproduced.
