[Avodah] halachic attitude to the convicted

>> let me see if i understand  this.   if halacha does not  recognize  any 
of 
the  following  as  incarceratable offenses --  and i am not aware  that 
jail is in shulchan aruch for  these:  smuggling, sex abuse,  tax evasion, 
murder--    then  we  see these victims  [  ie  the convicted]  as as 
having been halachically   wronged; and we pray for their release.....<<

 
>>>>>>
 
IIANM, there are no incarcerable offences in halacha.  
 
(However, in general, dina demalchusa dina -- so if you're not sure whether 
 to daven for somebody in a specific case -- ask a shaila.)
