Book excerpt: Virendra V. Vaishnav is jailed in Lajpore Central Prison, Surat, Gujarat in India from November 2010 in connection with an alleged crime of murder, charged under Section 302 of the Indian Penal Code. He has been waiting for seven years for the court trial to end. He is devoting his time to the other prisoners and guards. His deep religious faith enables him to remain strong and survive his incarceration, and he uses faith to help those around him. Prison Prisoners Pain & I is a fascinating yet disturbing insight into the mind of a prisoner who can see no end to the relentless mental torture of his prison sentence.
