Confucius might consider criminal laws and prisons in the modern world from a moral and ethical perspective. He may believe that a just society requires clear laws and fair punishment to maintain order and harmony. Confucius might also emphasize the importance of rehabilitation and education within the prison system to promote personal growth and societal betterment.

Confucius - What you do not want done to yourself do not do other thing example of don't give up
No such sage comes to my mind, but in Chinese a sage might be called "fu zi", which in certain context may refer to Confucius in particular.
Statutes of limitations only apply in the case of criminal (or civil) offenses in which the defendant is either unknown or or has not yet been apprehended. If the person is already incarcerated in prison for their crime, obviously it will not apply to them.
In most countries, debt is not a criminal matter, it is a civil one. One cannot be imprisoned for a civil issue in the UK, or the USA, long gone are the days of debtor's prisons. If you've fled the country to avoid certain legal mandates based around your debt though, then it might have become a criminal matter.
You might be referring to those in debtor's prisons?
It is sad that Texas has the highest level of incarceration in the USA. There are 157,020 people (2008 stats) in Texas prisons. Great article you might want to read is here: http://justicecenter.csg.org/downloads/TX3+big+picture+growth.pdf In some cases you can get a criminal record in Texas expunged:
Convicts in historical prison systems typically used basic facilities for sanitation, which varied depending on the time and location. In many early prisons, they had access to communal latrines or toilets, while some had individual cells with minimal privacy. In harsher conditions, convicts might have used buckets or designated areas within their cells. Over time, sanitation improved with the introduction of more modern plumbing systems in prisons.
Well, your worries could be over ... you just might now have a criminal record!
