A Prayer for Prisoners
O God, who sparest when we deserve punishment and in thy wrath rememberest mercy; We humbly beseech thee, of thy goodness, to comfort and succour all prisoners, especially those who are condemned to die. Give them a right understanding of themselves, and of thy promises; that, trusting wholly in thy mercy, they may not place their confidence anywhere but in thee. Relieve the distressed, protect the innocent, awaken the guilty; and forasmuch as thou alone bringest light out of darkness, and good out of evil, grant to these thy servants that by the power of thy Holy Spirit they may be set free from the chains of sin, and may be brought to newness of life; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
From the Book of Common Prayer, p. 46
Jesus Christ in Prison, an Icon in egg tempera located at the Prison of Christ in the Praetorium Monastery in Jerusalem, Israel. It depicts Jesus in jail after trial awaiting crucifixion. His jailers have dressed Jesus in a scarlet robe and a crown of thorns with a reed for a scepter, to mock Him as King of the Jews. Matt. 27: 28-29.
