Early forms of confinement in England and other European countries were very different from our contemporary prisons and jails. One of the first methods of confinement was a facility where a wide range of people were sent to work; most of these people were not hardened criminals, but were guilty of not paying their debts. Another form of confinement was exporting criminals to other lands, such as the American colonies and Australia. As the American Revolution began, however, England had to find something else to do with their criminals. As a result, they reconfigured abandoned ships to hold criminals on the riverbanks. The ships that were used to house offenders on riverbanks were called:
A. hulks.
B. hulls.
C. garrotes.
D. schooners.
