A BBC News article by Sima Kotecha reports that Russell Brand, 51, convicted of rape and three counts of sexual assault and sentenced to 10 years and six months, is being held at HMP Wandsworth, where his belongings will have been confiscated and he would qualify for release at the seven-year mark. Ex-inmates including Chris Atkins, who calls the prison "hell on earth," say the shock will be far worse for Brand given his offences, while staff report inmates slamming doors and shouting his name and warn his fame could make him a target.
