How They Did It - Prisons in Ancient Rome DOCUMENTARY

Can you please make a video about "how Roman Empire Romanized non-Latin speaking locals of the Empire" such as Gauls, Iberians, Dacians, Dalmatians, Etruscans, North Africans and etc

[@aero2486]

I've studied Roman law in law school (I'm not from the US), and I can tell you, 99% of crimes ended up with reparations and additional fines, as was established by the Lex Aquila. For instance, if I were to end a slave's life, i would have to pay the owner the highest price that slave could have had in the last year, if I did it intentionally, twice that price.

[@alexporter7379]

Interesting when you compare it to Americas slave system. As much as some try to deny it, it was a crime punishable by imprisonment, fines, or at worse, death, for murdering a slave here. Romes slave system basically just fined you.

[@aero2486]

@@alexporter7379 Well it's mainly because the Romans had to make sense of their legal system. As slaves were "things" (latin res) and not people (latin persona), they had the same regulation as other things: you break something that it not yours, you have to pay the owner its cost. Of course later on during the Empire laws were passed to prevent cruel treatment not only of slaves, but also of family, because the Paterfamilias could inflict whatever punishment he deemed necessary. The example I gave was of someone else killing the slave, not the owner. In practice it was not well seen to mistreat slaves (customs and traditions "consuetudo" were a source of law). Also, they were really really expensive. You cant just injure your own slave, it's gonna cost you a fortune in trestment.

[@alexporter7379]

@@aero2486 and that's what I find to be absolutely fascinating. Rome was the basis of America's legal system, and we (attempted) to take a different route than the Romans, only to come to the same conclusion eventually. Granted our founding fathers lived in a different time, but still, it's absolutely fascinating to me.

[@aero2486]

@@alexporter7379 During the glory days of the empire laws were passed which prohibited cruel trearment of one's slave. That was mostly because up to Caesars time, slaves were really expensive, so no one would risk crippling a slave, or even mistreating one. Eventually people could buy more slaves and their prices went down, so the relationship with their owners became more impersonal and they became more replacable. That's why in imperial times they punished cruel treatment of one's own slaves.

[@colinsanders9397]

It's not so much about murderers beingg a good fit for the army. In fact, criminality generally indicates a tendency towards insubordination. The reason that criminals are allowed to join any armed force is that military life sucks. It's just awful, even in the modern day. So if you're short on bodies to fill out the line, you can offer a choice. "Would you rather starve in a dungeon or march up to 20 miles with 50 pounds of gear and be beaten for failing your tasks?" Maybe 5 years of Legionary bullshit sounds a little better than 5 years in prison. Maybe it doesn't. Either way, you can keep your numbers up.

Imma pick your brain, cuz I know little about Rome/Roman Army If I was arrested for let’s say multiple thefts and a beating. They give me the option to fight in the legions. I take the offer. If I show my worth on the battlefield, or do something courageous, would I be able to then expunge that criminal record after my service? Would I be able to get out after some time?

"eye for an eye" is not a statement of vengeance but a stipulation that the punishment should fit the crime, i.e., be reasonable. It's the most misunderstood part of ancient law I've ever seen.

[@robertjarman3703]

And also, it was normally at the time a limit on the retribution not the minimum. If a person even in 1920 could be lynched for mere rumours of raping someone, then an eye for an eye seems quite reasonable to social reformers back then.

[@nasheldimas4339]

[@ace8099]

@@Mr-melon54it must be said that historical Jesus and the Jesus Christ character of the Bible are not the same thing either. No one is trying to say(atleast no one with any historical knowledge) the events of the gospels happened in order they are presented and are all true without question, they're stories and sayings and motifs and teachings and the such from a very popular Rabbi who was killed by civil authorities and his cult lived on after his death and fractured apart on the true meaning of what he thought. That sounds far more realistic to me then people making up a person out of nowhere to create an entire religion. It's much more likely people did actually believe and it's just all been muddied since.

I'd like to know about the women in Rome and what they were legally allowed and not allowed to do. Were they citizens? And how they compared to other women of antiquity.

[@letsomethingshine]

I think the women in ancient Egyptian society could inherit some of their father and mother's wealth, but in Rome women could not inherit. The foundational story of Rome is about how they were a powerful group of Incels who rapped a bunch of women they abducted from their neighbor nations/tribes/cities and the women fell in love with them so much that they begged their families to let them stay in Rome and not take revenge. A convenient story when only the men were allowed to write the history to any popular extent.

[@robertjarman3703]

Eh, that varied. If your husband happened to die, and your father was also dead, and ideally if you had children grown up enough, you were given the most freedom a typical woman could expect to have. Vestal Virgins had nearly the same rights as a man, sometimes even more in some areas. If you had a compassionate husband or father, who listened to you even if they didn't have to by law, then you had a keeper on your hands. Things might technically be in their name, but you could get much of what you want. This depended on the will of another person though, and if you didn't get the right dice roll, you could be in for misery.

[@danielthompson6207]

I've worked in private prisons here in the United States, and they were all pretty terrible. They have a high rate of returnees and low rehabilitation rate due to a profit model that prioritizes keeping inmates on the inside for as long as possible, high turnover rates for staff due to them being overworked and highly underpaid, and in general the case managers and other non-custody staff members are either unqualified or simply don't care enough to do their job properly. Good on ancient Rome for keeping that out of their system.

[@jackculler1489]

you can't rehabilitate someone if they are with a gang, when they get out they go back to their gangs and return to criminality. you cannot solve a problem if you aren't targeting its root cause. Problems: Gangs, broken families specifically the lack of fathers, >50% divorce rates ... also Single mother families prove to be more harmful because children without father figures are more likely to Join gangs or become criminals (not all). All these contribute to the low rehab and high returnees. America's Family system is fucked! Poverty, shitty educational system, illegal drugs also contribute to America's decline. It's a problem that will take years or even centuries to fix. if you wanna fix it - Traditional families should return, eradicate all gangs, reduce or eradicate drug trafficking, Make education and health care cheaper and available to all but that's not gonna happen in modern day America. America is simply too big and someday it would collapse just like the Western Roman Empire did Lmao we are probably seeing the start of it now so many civil unrest with all the riots and murders on American cities. that's why America is basically a 3RD world but with a 1st world wealth and military.

[@TRYCLOPS1]

Or maybe because of the lack of quick death penalty for murderers and rapists, and these types causing prisons to be not only overcrowded but also become centers where their mentality and culture is spread out. They also have too much liberty or space to do what they please inside the institutions and they basically rule those places. Under those circumstances, a low level criminal has no choice but to become a higher level criminal in order to survive in such environment.

I want to start a discussion because I find this topic fascinating: what do you think prisons (or equivalent punishment/re-education) could look like in future enlightened societies? Example: once Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality become commonplace gadgets most people use daily for more than just leisure, prisons might be converted over to mostly physical solitary confinement where you only share your digital space with therapeutic AI's. But, I want to hear what YOU think prisons might be like going forward. What are some humane changes you would make to our current set ups?

[@ace8099]

I would think that a good punishment(if such a thing exists) honestly would be an actual true retributive one, i.e if we somehow can simulate reality well enough to make the person relive their crime as the victim and feel all the negative outcomes. But that brings up the question of, what is "justice"? making bad people suffer? What gives us catharsis? The victim gets nothing from it except the knowledge the perpetrators suffered too but I think if we could literally put people in each other's shoes(through VR or AI simulations), it would alleviate a lot of the misunderstandings that underpin a lot of regular common arguments and confrontations. Obviously that's all like movie level SciFi tech stuff but it's cool to think about
