Well, actually the reference to "St John" is much different than what wscanlon is alluding to. The reference, in a historical/theological context refers to St John The Baptist. St John the baptist was a martyr who is famous for his beheading by Herod. Before he was beheaded, he spent time in a dungeon waiting (hoping) to be pardoned.
