British comedian Russell Brand, convicted of sex offences, is facing an extremely difficult situation behind bars. A former inmate at HMP Wandsworth in London, where the entertainer is currently being held, has warned that Brand could become a target for other prisoners and may even be in mortal danger.

The 51-year-old Brand was sentenced on Monday to 10 years in prison for one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault. He is expected to remain at HMP Wandsworth for the next few weeks before being transferred to another correctional facility. As senior lawyer and director of Sahota & Sahota Solicitors Kally Sahota previously told Page Six, the decision on his transfer will take into account security requirements, the prisoner's protection and opportunities for rehabilitation.

However, according to a former inmate who served time at the same prison and was released last year, Brand's current situation is already a cause for serious concern.

“If Brand stays in Wandsworth, he’s in big trouble. He’s a walking dead man,” the former prisoner told The Sun. He said the comedian's main priority now should be to make it through until he is transferred to another facility.

The ex-inmate described the prison as a “violent, corrupt, filthy” place. He also claimed that some staff members allegedly paid prisoners to attack other inmates, while fights were a regular occurrence.

“While he’s here, Brand will be a target. If he wants to stay safe, he needs to get out of here as soon as possible,” the former prisoner warned.

According to reports, the comedian is currently being held in a single cell for security reasons.

Lawyer Kally Sahota also described the daily conditions at HMP Wandsworth to Page Six. He said prisoners are allowed just one hour outside their cells each day. He confirmed that some of the facility's main problems include violence, drugs, poor hygiene, overcrowding and staff shortages.

As for Brand's conduct behind bars, the lawyer advised him to avoid attracting unnecessary attention.

“Listen, watch and work out how things operate. I think there could very quickly be people in prison calling themselves his friends. But whether they will genuinely look out for him is another matter,” Sahota said.

He added that the comedian should be extremely cautious and avoid trusting everyone who offers him help or friendship.

“Just because someone appears friendly and offers advice or support doesn't mean they have good intentions. My advice is to keep a low profile, stay alert and be careful,” the lawyer stressed.

The Daily Mail previously reported that Brand was living in constant fear because of the way other prisoners were treating him. According to the publication, hundreds of inmates at HMP Wandsworth have been mocking him by chanting an insulting slogan.

The convicted comedian has reportedly been taunted with the words: “There’s a new nonce on our landing! Brand, you’re not so cocky now!”

The British slang term nonce is an extremely offensive label for a sex offender, particularly a rapist or paedophile.

Thus, the entertainer, once known for his provocative persona and headline-grabbing antics, now finds himself in a very different environment where, according to a former inmate, his first priority will have to be his own safety.
