A Daily Mail news story reports that Russell Brand, convicted on 5 November 2026 of rape and three counts of sexual assault, is being held at Wandsworth Prison, where a source says hundreds of inmates chant at him and he is left cowering in his cell. He is due to be sentenced at Southwark Crown Court on 9 November 2026, with the judge telling him to expect a lengthy custodial sentence; a Mail on Sunday source describes basic, understaffed conditions and warns he may soon be targeted by prisoners who rule the wing.
