Traditionally, 2 Timothy has been believed to have been written by Paul while imprisoned in Rome. However, scholars say that both epistles addressed to Timothy are clearly from the second century, and were not written by Paul. Since they were not written by Paul, there is nothing to say they were written from prison.

The First Epistle to Timothy is traditionally thought to have been written by Paul from Laodicea. The Second Epistle to Timothy is traditionally thought to have been written by Paul from Rome. However, 1 Timothy and 2 Timothy, known (along with Titus) as the Pastorals because of their concern for the pastoral role of bishops in the second-century Church, are almost unanimously regarded by critical scholars as not written by Paul.
