Ben Weir, and Thomas Sutherland. Father Jenco's 564 days in captivity, which started in 1985, are told in his book "Bound to Forgive" (Ave Maria Press, c1995). His release from captivity, along with many of his fellow hostages, was allegedly arranged as part of the Iran/Contra, arms-for-hostages affair.
