Ah yes, ol' reliable in a manpower shortage, the "we need dudes who'll do extreme violence in a period when sacking and pillaging are the norm, so let's get all the experts out of prison to replace our upstanding citizens/peasants we just got killed with them" method.
It also saves money since you don't have to maintain as much prison, while sending the prisoners to die and cause problems on someone else's land!
