Pete Doherty getting special treatment in prison, claims source

Pete Doherty is reportedly been given special treatment in jail as he serves time for probation violation.

Last week, Pete was sent to HMP Wormwood Scrubs in London to serve 14 weeks of his previously suspended sentence after violating conditions of his probation and court supervision order.

An inside source told the Sun: “He’s in the segregation unit because of who he is. It’s thought he could be vulnerable.”

“[But] he’s been put on enhanced privileges [too], 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.”

Pete has had to cancel his biggest solo gig to date - an event at the Royal Albert Hall - after being unexpectedly sent to jail last week and his Glastonbury appearance is also at risk if he is forced to serve the entire jail term.

Keep the druggie scumbag in there and throw the key away.
Talentless moron, why do people look up to this loser when their is so much talent out there. Shock value will not keep you at the top, you need to be able to write a decent song.
He will end up at rock bottom along with the likes of Amy Winehouse, who unfortunatley does have some talent granted.
But Pete Docherty should have been locked away years ago.

can someone tell me why pete docherty has been allowed out of prison before his time is up ,its obvious he has no intention of giving up drugs but it seem his behaviour is just being given a slap on the hand and being told to be a good boy ,he has escaped prison many times and i think this sentence should have been much much longer.
