: Re: How to write a good prison scene I'm attempting to write one or two chapters with one of my main characters in a jail cell. It's important to the character development that he is isolated

Sub-question: Are there any examples of similar chapters where the POV character has been captured/ imprisoned that you thought were good/ had interesting elements?

In Brandon Sanderson's "Words of Radiance," chapter 66 is almost exclusively written in a prison. The POV is still interesting as it focuses on the mental effects the prison has on the MC, and he also comes to a final decision over a moral decision. The importance of this scene to character development and motivation makes it not at all boring or uninteresting.
