In his biography Mandela, Nelson Mandela advised his then-wife, Winnie, how to use her upcoming jail time. He spent 27 years in prison in South Africa for his fight against apartheid and went on to become South Africa’s president from 1994 to 1999. The words he wrote can guide anyone who is serving time.
