Punishments in Britain for these crimes during the Industrial Revolution included; Transportation/penal servitude, prison, fines and hangings.
Prisons became overcrowded because of the rising crime and were unorganised. Britain had many colonies (like Australia) so they sent criminals to the colonies instead of prison. This was called penal servitude. Fines were used to control the working class because they had such little money that they could not afford to lose it. Public hangings were used too often and became sources of entertainment for people, the working class lost their fear for them.
