Russell Brand moved to ‘cushy’ prison after inmates’ abusive behavior
Russel Brand has reportedly moved to a new jail with more facilities just days after he received a 10-and-a-half-year sentence
After his conviction for rape and three counts of sexual assault, the disgraced comedian was transferred to HMP Wandsworth in southwest London on November 6, where he had been kept in solitary confinement.
However, as per recent reports, Russel has been transferred to category C prison HMP Littlehey in Cambridgeshire on Friday after the prison was reportedly considered too dangerous for Brand.
A source told The Sun, “Brand looked like he was s****ing himself as he was led to his cell. He was heard asking for blankets on his first night and he’s had extra officers looking after him since he arrived.
“He’s got his own cell and he’s not interacted with any of the other inmates yet.”
The prison is said to be housing male sex offenders and offers activities such as yoga, choir and origami classes. It also has two gyms, sports halls, an indoor bowls area and a football pitch.
A prison source also told the Daily Mail that Brand initially appeared confident but was actually frightened.
”He was incredibly pale, almost as though he was going to be sick,” the source said.
”Whatever confidence he was trying to project, you could see the fear beneath it.”
The outlet previously reported hundreds of inmates at HMP Wandsworth were taunting the actor with an insulting chant, leaving him “cowering in fear.”
Meanwhile, more women have come forward and accused Russel of sexual abuse and predatory behaviour.
Mia Latter has also dropped her right to anonymity and accused Brand of abusing her when she was 16 and he was 30.
