he had to steal a loaf of bread for his food
Jean Valjean was sent to prison for stealing a loaf of bread to feed his sister's starving children. He was sentenced to five years of hard labor for this crime.
This question relates to the story of Les Miserables, a French novel by Victor Hugo, often adapted as a play and sometimes called 'The Bishop's Candlesticks'. Jean Valjean is a former convict whose faith in humanity is restored when he comes into contact with a kind bishop. Jean Valjean is bitter and hateful towards society due to injustices meted out to him. When he was unemployed and his wife was starving, he had been forced to steal a loaf of bread, but got caught and imprisoned, and his wife died. Even after having served time in prison, Jean Valjean cannot get easily integrated into society, and is marked as a criminal, making it difficult for him to find work and shelter. These reasons combine to make him bitter and hateful, until he meets the kind Bishop.
Jean Valjean served 19 years in prison for stealing a loaf of bread to feed his sister's starving child. After multiple escape attempts, his sentence was extended to include additional time for trying to flee.
The convict was sentenced to ten years in prison for robbery.

As mayor of Montreuil-sur-Mer, Jean Valjean was a compassionate and effective leader.

Jean Valjean finally found lodging at the Bishop's house, where he was treated with kindness and generosity. The Bishop welcomed him warmly, despite Valjean's past as an ex-convict.
