I posted a link to a paper on bandits in ancient Rome in References & Reviews a short while ago. Bandits could certainly be conscripted into military service when caught.
Paper on banditry in Ancient Rome
I think that some bandit were conscripted into military service. :wink:
And why not? Some military fled into banditry like the next guy. And if it was possible for rebels as well as barbarians to be drafted, then why not criminals?

I seem to recall that the British army at times als offered criminals the option to serve time in prison or serve Her Majesty in the army.

IIRC the Roman Republic after Cannae raised a legion from criminals

AKA Inaki
