St. Paul, imprisoned and also exiled

He tried to get himself imprisoned once as a kid but that was because he was hungry and cold. He got institutionalised at one point, and later shot himself.

My favorite painter was, but it's a pretty easy thread by that point

Yeah. Dostoevsky was sentenced to death, put in a mock execution, then put in prison in Serbia. Sad stuff

Why are so often exiled or forced to expatriate by fleeing their country?

yeah. plato was almost killed with the situation at syracuse twice because of those idiots dion and dionysius the elder. aristotle also was about to get a socrates-style death but fled athens and famously said that he won't let athens commit another crime against philosophy. its seems that the states are comtinuously out to get them as they are very cautious about their teachings being applied to life
