Fyodor Dostoyevsky’s “Crime and Punishment” is a book anyone in jail will have trouble putting down. it is a rather moral, and inward exercise of the social criteria of guilt and innocence. The story deals with the sublime distinction between guilt of a crime and the willing acceptance that a crime was commited.(xx, introduction)

There are several good translations, some even have insightful commentaries available.

P.S.

I was in jail when I read it. It rocked my conscience

Thank God, and you for believing that those who make terrible mistakes deserve a second chance.

attempt identifying to purchase him a chain of books. in case you may no longer take care of to pay for to purchase an entire series, i’m Legend by Richard Matheson is an exceptionally good novel that the movie with Will Smith became based off of.

the first book most people would recommend would most likely be the bible….if he or she can,t read too good, something in the educational field might do it since this person has a lot of time to spare….at his or her educational level……most prisons have thier own library….if the prisoner is in such a place, you should tell him or her to visit it……..it may be a rewarding experience
