Pete DohertyPete Doherty might have been spared a jail sentence by Thames Magistrates for now but he actually wants to get behind bars - to follow in Johnny Cash’s footsteps and record live shows from inside prisons.

Pete’s already approached the governor of Pentonville prison in London - where he spent a fortnight earlier this year while awaiting sentencing on drugs charges.

A friend has revealed: “Pete knows the staff and some inmates from his stays and thinks it will be good for prison morale.”

“He loves the idea of making it into a prison tour and recording the shows.”
