The two are understood to be Jewish zealots who were arrested and sentenced for raiding Roman supply caravans. They were thieves.
One ... by the name of Dismas ... accepted Jesus, obtained mercy, and accompanied him to paradise.
The other did not, and we don't know his name.

Jesus and 2 other makes 3. Sorry for cutting and pasting. I don't usually do this:
The first, his name Gestas, put travellers to death, murdering them with the sword, and others he exposed naked. And he hung up women by the heels, head down, and cut off their breasts, and drank the blood of infants limbs, never having known God, not obeying the laws, being violent from the beginning, and doing such deeds.
And the case of the other was as follows: He was called Demas, and was by birth a Galilæan, and kept an inn. He made attacks upon the rich, but was good to the poor—a thief like Tobit, for he buried the bodies of the poor. Tobit 1:17-18 And he set his hand to robbing the multitude of the Jews, and stole the law itself in Jerusalem, and stripped naked the daughter of Caiaphas, who was priestess of the sanctuary, and took away from its place the mysterious deposit itself placed there by Solomon. Such were his doings.

People in those days were not hang on the cross unless it was very high crime. those two others were criminals. One of two was against Jesus but the other one was looking at Jesus as what all other disciples saw Jesus as. And Jesus said to him that he would be with Jesus in the paradise today.

Two criminals that were also being crucified that day. One mocked Jesus, the other asked Him to accept him into His kingdom that day, which Jesus said he would be.

Prophecy declares that Jesus was numbered with the transgressors. The two that were crucified with him that day are thieves.

They were unnamed criminals. The bible talks about them but doesn't name them. One of the criminals laughed at Jesus and the other begged for forgiveness. Jesus said that the one that begged for forgiveness would be with Him in Paradise.

Two theives crucified also.
One went to paradise the other didn't.
The one thief told Jesus to save himself and save them too, if he was the Son of God.
The other one, confessed that Jesus wasn't guilty & was an innocent man; but he (thief) was guilty. He asked Jesus, "Lord, when you enter your Kingdom, please remember me. (Confessed Jesus Lord and King.) Jesus told that thief. "Today, I will see you in paradise.".
