Jean Valjean returns to prison due to a parole violation; he is arrested for stealing a loaf of bread to feed his sister's starving children. Initially convicted for this theft, he is sentenced to five years of hard labor, but his attempts to escape lead to an extended sentence of 19 years in total. His struggles with the law and redemption form a central part of Victor Hugo's "Les Misérables."
