Interesting. BTW, there is a trend in Pakistan that people write their autobiographies in prison. Like Mr Geelani wrote 'Chaah e Yusuf se sad' during his imprisonment. Can we have a thread on books written in Prison. Famous tafseers of Quran (including tafseer ibn e kaseer) were also written in prison.
