Russell Brand faces ‘hell on earth’ inside Wandsworth prison, former inmate warns

Russell Brand is facing "hell on earth" inside HMP Wandsworth, a former prisoner at the south London jail has warned, as the disgraced comedian begins a sentence of more than a decade behind bars.

The 51-year-old was jailed for 10 years and six months at Southwark Crown Court on Monday after being convicted of one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault. He is currently being held at the sprawling Victorian prison, one of the largest in England.
