Moreover, when this dood got out of prison, he had no idea how long his freedom would last. That meant he had to write down everything fast as fuck, lest he get thrown back in prison again.

That's the only way to make someone a good writer, as far as I can tell. All the good ones went to prison. This is just one example.

Andrew Dickson White wrote:

Into the very midst of all this welter of evil, at a point in time to all appearance hopeless, at a point in space apparently defenseless, in a nation of which every man, woman, and child was under sentence of death from its sovereign, was born a man who wrought as no other has ever done for a redemption of civilization from the main cause of all that misery; who thought out for Europe the precepts of right reason in international law; who made them heard; who gave a noble change to the course of human affairs; whose thoughts, reasonings, suggestions, and appeals produced an environment in which came an evolution of humanity that still continues.[47]
