Wow, really?
Quotas were introduced in the Stalinist USSR at one point in the 1930s, I think. Before that, you had to prove that you were innocent to have a shot at escaping imprisonment. Before THAT, authorities had to prove you did something wrong (they almost always found something, though).
Both of these early approaches were simply too inefficient to man the gulags and run the country into the ground, I guess.
