Australia got prostitutes and pickpockets. Actually criminals they wanted to be rid of, but whom weren't all that serious in their crimes. But then Australia was an actual colony, not just a dumping ground. One likely alternative actually are political offenses. "The Emperor in his benevolence has decided that those of you who desire the archaic form of government known as "democracy" may be left alone to resurrect that ancient and impractical form of governance and learn its weaknesses for yourselves." Which, come to think of it, was exactly what Perry Rhodan did with his pro-democracy activists.
