Prison
John Dickens was imprisoned only once and only for a few months in the year 1824.
Charles Dickens went back to school after his father paid off his debt and sent him to work at a boot-blacking factory to cover expenses. After his father's release from debtors' prison, Dickens was able to resume his education.
After Charles Dickens' father was imprisoned for debt, his mother and siblings went to live with him in debtor's prison. This experience had a profound impact on Dickens and heavily influenced his later writings on poverty and social injustice.
Marshalsea
His dad went to one part of a prison that was meant for extremely poor people, so it really isn't a "prison." His life at the prison was probably better than life outside the prison because in the prison, he could actually eat food, and have the basic needs.
he owed the local baker 10 shilling and six pence for the bread they bought. He had lost his job as a clerk and was desperate to feed his family - Following a court hearing he was committed to Debtors Prison
His father went to Marshalsea prison for debt, where his wife and children (with the exception of Charles) joined him. After his family was imprisoned, he was compelled to go to work at Warren's Blacking Factory, where he applied labels to bottles of blacking (shoe polish). This experience, though it only lasted eight months, deeply influenced the rest of his life and his writing.
Neither of Dickens's parents could manage money and the family was therefore constantly in debt. When he was about twelve, Charles was sent to work at a blacking (shoe polish) factory; he had to live in horrible, dirty rooms near the factory and felt humiliated and alienated from his family. Shortly after this separation, his father was arrested and imprisoned for debt. The rest of the family soon joined him in prison, but Charles was compelled to remain at the factory for several months. After his father (or more probably his father's friends) was able to repay the debt and free the family, Charles's mother tried to insist that he remain at the factory, as the family needed his wages. But his father overruled her and Charles was brought home. He never really forgave his mother.
No. His father was a clerk in the Navy Pay Office, who spent more money than he earned and was imprisoned for debt when Charles was 12. By that time, Charles was already working 10 hours a day in a warehouse, earning six shillings a week.
Well, honey, Charles Dickens was just a wee lad of 12 when his dear old dad landed himself in the slammer. Daddy dearest got himself into some financial trouble and ended up behind bars, leaving young Charles to fend for himself and start working in a boot-blacking factory. And that, my friend, is the not-so-fairy-tale beginning of one of the greatest literary legends of all time.
