APPENDIX 6
Concerning Political Prisoners
Definitions
James Bryce:[1]
[1] James Bryce made this distinction in 1889 between the two kinds of
offenders. Letter Introductory to “Political Prisoners at Home and
Abroad,” Sigerson.
“Perhaps we may say that whenever the moral judgment of the community
at large does not brand an offence as sordid and degrading, and does
not feel the offence to be one which destroys its respect for the
personal character of the prisoner, it may there be held that prison
treatment ought to be different from that awarded to ordinary
criminals.”
George Sigerson:[2]
[2] “Political Prisoners at Home and Abroad.”
“Men may differ, in thought and deed, on many questions without moral
guilt. Forms of government and measures relating to the welfare and
organization of society have been, in all ages and countries, questions
on which men have entertained divergent convictions, and asserted their
sincerity by conflicting action, often at grave personal sacrifice and
the loss of life. On the other hand, all people are agreed in
condemning certain acts, stigmatized as crimes, which offend against
the well-being of the individual or the community.
