… well… im guessing u need a gas mask if you work in a prison, the stench must be horrable there. and one more thing…um…i think this might be a logical response as to why this is a law. maybe they didnt have room for graveyards in a huge city like italy, even tho i dont think it was huge in 1773, so they encouraged people basically by saying “go die somewhere else”. and to keep people from commiting crimes cause pesonally,i cculd handle a jail cell to myslef for ten years. i couldnt handle a jail cell for ten years if five of my roomates were rotting!

Just like America your family is punished when you die look at death tax it’s real. Maybe I should report that one. 55% of your possessions or money has to go directly to the government before it can be passed on. Don’t plan on dieing or your family will pay for it.

I’m thinking this is more of a “it’s illegal to commit suicide” thing. It’s probably been translated wrong.

tht isnt the full law. the full law is that it is illegal to die in the house of parliament (UK)
or else a royal state funeral is immediately given to that person

What is the punishment anyway? (If I could have given it a little bit or care)
Perhaps back then, people thought that others can die if they want to!!

I think I’ve heard of this before… I think it has something to do with the cemetary being over-crowded.
I have the solution:
We should take the cemetary… And push it somewhere else! /shot/

What are they talking about? Are they going to punish your grave? Your Children? Are they going to kill you for this crime? Too late… You are already dead, so that would be a light punishment… Really??
