Dano said that the reader of the English prose as a second language user should get tense a little as to what's similar and what's dissimilar. In short, you should raise the sense of differentiation.

Once condemned. (1)the prisoners' miseries continued in the transport railroad cars, cattle cars or barges. Subjected to severely overcrowded and underventilated conditions, at extreme temperatures and with insufficient food, they were brutalized by both (2)the common criminals with whom they traveled and the guards. (100 Banned Books, Nicholas J. Karolides, Margaret Bald and Dawn B. Sova, p.59) (The Korean version, p.219)

Dano's comments:
The bold-typed the prisoners(1) mentioned in this case refer to the political prisoners condemned on charges of sedition, who differ from the other bold typed the common criminals (2) who have been condemned mainly on charges of common crimes of stealth, robbery, and assaults. The political prisoners got brutalized by the common criminals and the guards. The Korean translator equivocated on what turned out to be so simple, which was lousy.
