[IDEM libro sexto de cognitionibus. ] §48.3.13.prIn eos, qui, cum recepti essent in carcerem, conspirauerint, ut ruptis uinculis et effracto carcere euadant, amplius, quam causa ex qua recepti sunt reposcit, constituendum est quamuis innocentes inueniantur ex eo crimine, propter quod inpacti sunt in carcere, tamen puniendi sunt: eos uero, qui conspirationem eorum detexerint, releuandos.
[BY THE SAME AUTHOR, On Extra-ordinary Proceedings, book 6] Against those who, having been received into prison, have conspired to escape by breaking their bonds and breaking out of the prison, a heavier penalty must be decreed than that which the cause for which they were received requires; even though they are found innocent of the crime for which they were thrown into prison, they must nevertheless be punished; but those who have revealed their conspiracy should be relieved.
