When Charles Dickens was young, his father John Dickens was imprisoned for debt in Marshalsea debtors' prison. This experience deeply impacted Charles and influenced many of his later writings that dealt with themes of poverty and social injustice. John was eventually released from prison when a family inheritance allowed him to pay off his debts.
