No. O. Henry was sentenced to five years for embezzlement and despite the fact he ran from the law, once in jail he became an honest man. His father was a doctor, and from him O. Henry learned to compound prescriptions. He became a licensed pharmacist.He stayed busy in the jail's infirmary, and evidently never even slept in a sale. He was released on good behavior after three years.
