What if the man was put in rocket and shot to the moon and became blind and deaf in his flight and developed amnesia?

Is there such a place? Without the right to read a Bible? And whatever the answer; I would say there is NO PLACE a child of God can be placed that God can't keep him.
A hungry heart came in off the street and got baptized in Jesus name and filled with the Holy Ghost. God will not forsake him. God will meet his needs, whatever they be.

Maybe one of the guards are Christian too. Or he could get with the Chaplin of the Prison and fellowship.

When my husband was in jail all he could listen to was music piped over the speakers via a radio station. But God spoke to him through that music. That was over 20 years ago and he is still moved when he hears those same songs because of the meaning God gave to him through them.
God can and does use anything to reach a person.

12 So whenever you speak, or whatever you do, remember that you will be judged by the law of love, the law that set you free. 13 For there will be no mercy for you if you have not been merciful to others. But if you have been merciful, then God's mercy toward you will win out over his judgment against you.

I suppose it would be fair to mention that this person is a new-convert who may not have an established pray life or really know alot about the Bible or how to study it.

My husband was in jail 20 years ago for a few years. God met him in jail and kept him while in jail and after he got out. There was no man in there to "keep" him only God.
God can and will keep you if you have truly turned your heart to Him.
My husband could not read until he picked up a Bible in jail. He not only read but UNDERSTOOD what he was reading.
I was the darkest period in his life but the most profound. When you have no where to put your faith but in God, miracles happen, God speaks to you and you grow in the Lord very quickly.
Thinking back to that time still strenghtens my husband's faith today.

the only way to stay saved is speak in tongues then immediately be placed in a coma for the rest of your life.  This way you can't sin again.

This is one of the songs he used to listen to while in jail:
"I Want to Know What Love Is" by Foreigner
I gotta take a little time
A little time to think things over
I better read between the lines
In case I need it when Im older
Now this mountain I must climb
Feels like a world upon my shoulders
I through the clouds I see love shine
It keeps me warm as life grows colder
In my life theres been heartache and pain
I dont know if I can face it again
Cant stop now, Ive traveled so far
To change this lonely life
I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is
I know you can show me
Im gonna take a little time
A little time to look around me
Ive got nowhere left to hide
It looks like love has finally found me
In my life theres been heartache and pain
I dont know if I can face it again
I cant stop now, Ive traveled so far
To change this lonely life
I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is
I know you can show me
I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
And I wanna feel, I want to feel what love is
And I know, I know you can show me
Lets talk about love
I wanna know what love is, the love that you feel inside
I want you to show me, and Im feeling so much love
I wanna feel what love is, no, you just cannot hide
I know you can show me, yeah
I wanna know what love is, lets talk about love
I want you to show me, I wanna feel it too
I wanna feel what love is, I want to feel it too
And I know and I know, I know you can show me
Show me love is real, yeah
I wanna know what love is...

Actually, if the preacher holds you under too long when you get baptized you can get to heaven that way too.
