Abstract
Prison literature is written while the author is confined in a place against his will, such as a prison, or house arrest. The writings can be related to prison, or mostly not connected to life in prison. It might be any literary form description, genuine, or fiction. It is mainly political inmates who devote their time in prison writing literature. Some of them are prison accounts in which they need to consume themselves in fictional construction figures as an approach to keep them enthused and to escape monotony, solitude, and depression. Some captive writers find themselves in the fortunate situation of having both the required tools like paper, table, illumination, etc. and the freedom to constitute their text. They are formally permitted to participate in their artistic mission; however, a lot of writers have to hide their work, inscribe on scraps of paper, the bark of the tree, use colors, coal, or even blood to leave their scripts, and have to sneak their works out of prison.
