Yes, John the Baptist had disciples who were not imprisioned with him but who did visit him in prison. So, as much as John preached, he probably is who imparted Revelation to us, speaking in prison to his friends. After all, Jesus did call him the last of the prophets of old. John wasn't the first prophet to speak of repentance; but he may have been the first to SCREAM, "Repent!" http://biblehub.com/matthew/11-2.htm

John the Baptist is happy, not jealous, to see Jesus’ disciples baptize many repentant Jews. What do these baptisms mean? Why does Herod put John in prison?

In the Christian New Testament, Saint John the Baptist and Salome never meet. Why, then, does she appear at the bars of his cell in Guercino’s moody painting?

The scene represented in this painting is not one that is usually depicted, and it is of a very similar composition to scenes showing the arrest of Christ, whose precursor John was. The difference is the setting, which here is an urban location.
