Prison literature

The Roman philosopher Boethius wrote The Consolation of Philosophy in 524 AD (image from a 1385 manuscript) while imprisoned.

Prison literature is the literary genre of works written by an author in unwilling confinement, such as a prison, jail or house arrest.[1] The writing can be about prison, informed by it, or simply incidentally written while in prison. It could be a memoir, nonfiction, or fiction.
