(a) Before he was arrested and sent to jail, the Convict was a man with all human qualities.
(b) The hard life of the prison, the cruelties and tortures of the police took away all human qualities from him. He was reduced to a number and they never called him by his name.
(c) The Convict led’ most hellish life in prison for ten long years.
