Raphael discusses a few other customs of the Utopians. These slaves are a disgrace to the Utopians because these slaves had been given an excellent moral education but they became criminals nonetheless.
Utopians who commit serious crimes are also held as slaves and they are treated most harshly. Utopians also travel to foreign countries to purchase and enslave criminals condemned to die. The children of slaves are not held in slavery. The Utopians have slaves, including prisoners of war captured in battle.
