In the book "Papillon" by Henri Charrière, the character Jean sans Peur reflects on his physical transformation over a decade spent in a harsh penal colony. Initially, he is depicted as a robust and attractive individual, but the harsh conditions of his imprisonment take a severe toll on his appearance and health. This contrast highlights the brutal impact of incarceration on the human spirit and body.
