Russell Brand has reportedly been moved to a ‘cushy’ prison just days after being jailed for rape and sexual assault.

The disgraced comedian was handed a 10-and-a-half-year sentence last week, with a minimum of two-thirds of it to be served in prison.

Since being convicted, several more allegations of sexual offences have emerged.

He began his prison sentence at HMP Wandsworth in South West London, where he was in solitary confinement.

However, on Friday, he was reportedly transferred to Category C prison HMP Littlehey near Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire.

This facility only houses male sex offenders, with some activities available to them reportedly including yoga, choir and origami classes.

There is also said to be an astroturf pitch for football, two gyms, sports halls, and indoor bowls.

It is understood that authorities deemed another prison, HMP Wakefield, too dangerous for Brand, after it was suggested that he be moved there.

Nicknamed ‘Monster Mansion’, that jail was where convicted child sex offender Ian Watkins was murdered by fellow inmates last year.

Brand is now reportedly in a single-person cell and doesn’t interact with his fellow inmates.

A source told The Sun that the 51-year-old asked for extra blankets on his first night and has extra officers assigned to look after him.

The insider said: ‘Brand looked like he was s****ing himself as he was led to his cell.’

It was also claimed that Brand had a significant level of ‘arrogance’ at the first prison, as he ‘came floating in almost as though he was the Messiah’.

Another source told the Daily Mail that it was ‘immediately’ clear that the convicted rapist was putting on ‘an act’.

They said: ‘He was incredibly pale, almost as though he was going to be sick.

‘Whatever confidence he was trying to project, you could see the fear beneath it.’

Since his prison sentence began, another eight women have come forward to accuse Brand of sexual crimes.
