An 18 year old we know through friends is currently in jail. I ordered him a Bible (he expressed interest in having one) but until receives it we would like to include Bible verses in the letters we send. I have already found some but was hoping for some additional suggestions. Verses in particular that are encouraging for a very frightened young man. He is a practicing Catholic. Also any prayers, particular saints etc.
 
Get a Rosary to him if you can, plus instructions on how to pray the Rosary. Also Psalm 51.
 
I asked a lawyer who visits prisoners at least twice a week, and he gave me a few verses.

Thanks to Bob.

John 14:27
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give it to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled or afraid.

Matt 11:28-30
"Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart; and you will find rest for your selves. For my yoke is easy, and my burden light.”

2 Tim 1:7
For God did not give us a spirit of cowardice but rather of power and love and self-control.

Is 26:3
"With firm purpose you maintain peace; in peace, because of our trust in you.”

And here’s a couple I found that you may like:

Dt 31:6
"Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.”

Ps 118:6
The Lord is with me; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?

And of course Psalm 23.
