Warum sollten wir denn Bedenken haben, jene alte Methode der Bestrafung von Verbrechen für nützlich zu halten, die schon im Altertum die Römer verwandt haben? Sie pflegten nämlich die Schwerverbrecher zur Arbeit in Steinbrüchen und Erzgruben zu verurteilen.

Thomas Morus

why should we doubt but the way that was so long in use among the old Romans, who understood so well the arts of government, was very proper for their punishment? They condemned such as they found guilty of great crimes to work their whole lives in quarries, or to dig in mines with chains about them.
