General Outline:

Most prison books (that I read) are structured as follows:

• 50% to outline the crimes that led them there (including the chase and the capture).
• Then there is the transformational moment (some time after imprisonment).
• Then there is the prison sentence and the adventures on the “Inside” (a glossary is necessary!)
• Finally, there is the re-integration into the free,
• and finally finally, the ultimate success of the protagonist.

…That’s the standard template.
