Jack Kevorkian is prohibited from speaking about procedures of assisted suicide as a condition of his parole. Insofar as parole is a substitute for imprisonment for less-dangerous criminals, Kevorkian's imprisonment has three-fold purpose: as punishment for homicides he's committed (negative incentive), to immobilize him from committing homicides during his prison term, and to silence him, thwarting the dissemination of information judged disruptive to society.
The Burmese government imprisons Aung San Suu Kyi for the purpose of silencing her.
