Russell Brand Set to Spend Jail Term in Yorkshire High-Security Prison
The prison is being assessed for a move to a Category A facility as six more women have accused him of sexual assault, reports said.
- On Monday, November 9, Russell Brand was sentenced to 10 and a half years in prison for rape and sexual assault, and is currently held at HMP Wandsworth following his conviction.
- Released inmates report Brand is the 'talk of the prison' at Wandsworth, which some describe as 'violent, corrupt, dirty and noisy,' while he is reportedly held in a cell of his own.
- One released prisoner noted, 'If you have the money, you are laughing. It's like Sainsbury's in there,' as fellow prisoners claim Brand has access to television, gym, and luxury items.
- Authorities are assessing Brand for transfer to HMP Wakefield, West Yorkshire, with The Sun reporting staff expect the move 'in the next few days or weeks,' though officials declined to comment.
- Wakefield is a Category A high-security facility where inspections last year found safety had deteriorated; the prison previously housed high-profile inmates including Ian Huntley and Harold Shipman amid reports of soaring violence.
