As stated in comment directly above yours, Murphy's crime was revealed in "Join or Die".

As for the books: 1) Books and TV are completely separate series and many, many, many facts from one do not align to the other. 2) In the books, orphan children were taken to care centers - not locked up. This includes second children (unlike the TV series, were second children are imprisoned). I'm not aware of anywhere in the TV series where it states, or implies, that orphans were imprisoned.
