London
(ANI):
English
has
been
given
a
preferential
treatment
by
jailers,
much
to
the
consternation
of
other
prisoners
who
have
been
there
before
him.
Doherty,
who
has
been
jailed
after
repeatedly
missing
drug
tests,
was
given
a
jail
cell
to
himself
and
a
bunk
with
two
mattresses,
even
though
the
prison
is
overcrowded.
Other
inmates
at
West
London"s
Wormwood
Scrubs
are
furious
that
the
star
has
been
given
the
extra
bedding,
a
TV
and
a
radio,
especially
when
other
prisoners
have
to
spend
weeks
earning
points
for
good
behaviour
before
being
handed
such
privileges.
The
29-year-old
rocker
has
been
moved
to
the
segregation
wing
with
16
high-risk
lags,
including
pedophiles.
"He's
in
the
segregation
unit
because
of
who
he
is.
It's
thought
he
could
be
vulnerable," The
Sun
quoted
a
source,
as
saying.
"He's
been
put
on
enhanced
privileges,
which
means
he
can
have
virtually
what
he
wants,
so
that
includes
an
extra
mattress,
TV
and
radio.
It's
basically
the
five-star
treatment,
which
takes
most
prisoners
weeks
of
good
behaviour
to
achieve,"
the
source
added.
Doherty
was
jailed
for
14
weeks
because
he
broke
the
terms
of
his
suspended
sentence
for
possessing
crack
cocaine,
heroin,
cannabis
and
ketamine.
The
Babyshambles
singer
revealed
to
a
friend
that
he
was
terrified
of
jail.
"Pete
obviously
didn't
want
to
go
to
prison
but
he
was
philosophical," his
solicitor
said.
