《旧唐书·本纪·卷十九》
所有京城及全国各州府在押的囚犯，除了十恶不赦的忤逆大罪、官吏贪赃、故意杀人、聚造毒药、放火抢劫、挖掘坟墓，以及牵涉到徐州叛贼的罪犯之外，都应该根据罪行的轻重，迅速地判决或释放，不要长期关押。
应京城天下诸州府见禁囚徒，除十恶忤逆、官典犯赃、故意杀人、合造毒药、放火持仗、开劫坟墓及关连徐州逆党外，并宜量罪轻重，速令决遣，无久系留。
All the prisoners detained in the capital and the prefectures across the country, except those who committed heinous crimes of treason, official corruption, intentional murder, manufacturing poison, arson and robbery, excavation of tombs, and those involved with the rebels in Xuzhou, should be sentenced or released promptly according to the severity of their crimes, and should not be detained for a long time.
