==Marxist theory==
Prisoners fell basically into two groups: political prisoners and thieves. While political prisoners or dissenters were considered enemies of the revolution or enemies of the people, under Marxist [[class warfare]] theory thieves were considered victims of [[beougoies]] society and the propertied class.

Hence a single thief was often deliberately placed within a group of political prisoners to sow mistrust and chaos and as a precaution against organized resistance.
