MormonTimes.com: The lessons of Liberty Jail
Elder Holland reviewed the experiences of the Prophet and some of his brethren in the dark, depressing, bitterly cold Missouri jail. He said that despite the circumstances in what has been referred to as a "prison-temple," Joseph Smith developed personally and as a prophet.
Elder Holland said everyone "in one way or another, great or small, dramatic or incidental, (is) going to spend a little time in Liberty Jail — spiritually speaking."
