the good thief was Dismas and the bad thief was Gestas
AnswerThey were crucified in the same way as Jesus.After being properly scourged they were nailed to their crosses. No pain and humiliation was saved to them. Dismas' cross was put on the right side of Jesus, while Gestas was crucified on Jesus' left. However, scripture does not name them and any names ascribed to them were later inventions.

Why were two other people crucified with Jesus?
For theological reasons, Jesus had to be crucified between two common thieves to show the actions of the Jews by disregarding Jesus' teachings deserved the anti-Jewish sentiment that lasted nearly 2000 years.

How many people were crucified alongside Jesus?
According the the Christian gospels, two other men were crucified with Jesus. These two men are variously described as thieves, criminals or rebels. Some fundamentalist Christians interpret the Gospels so that there were four men crucified with Jesus because of the different ways in which the men are described and because they take the Bible absolutely literally. So because one gospel says two "criminals" were crucified with Jesus and another says two "thieves" were crucified with Jesus there must have been four. Most people dismiss this and interpret the gospels more sensibly as there being only two other men crucified with Jesus.
What is family background of thieves who were crucified with Jesus?
AnswerThe Bible tells us almost nothing about the two who were crucified with Jesus. John Shelby Spong (Jesus for the NonReligious) tells us that the story purporting to describe the crucifixion of Jesus has been built on narratives from Hebrew scripture, crafted to identify Jesus with messianic images familiar to the readers of the Hebrew scriptures, and designed for liturgical use. He says that there were no thieves crucified with Jesus, penitent or otherwise. So, there is legitimate doubt as to whether there really were two thieves. Either way, we can not say what their family background was.
