Wilde spent two years in a hard labor prison after being convicted of gross indecency. Ballad of Reading Gaol is a poem, published in 1898. The poem tells the story of the hanging of a murderer, Charles Thomas Wooldridge, while Wilde was himself a convict. It concludes with a plea for Christ's forgiveness and protest against prison conditions.
