Pete Doherty passes time in prison with drugs
Posted on April 16th, 2008 by Hot Momma
The UK Sun has been looking in on Pete Doherty’s stay in prison and it’s surprising how much information they have gotten during his so far brief stay. First theygot a hold of camera phone pics of Pete in jail! He looks a little bored.
But apparently to help pass the time, The Sun claims he’s still doing heroin in the clink. His cellmate is a 28-year-old drug dealer (perfect for Pete) and Doherty has been getting drugs by begging for credit and writing IOUs.
An inmate said, “We can’t believe how much he’s still clucking for it. They put him inside to force him to give up but Pete always has a need to feed his habit.” Doherty is currently on methadone to wean him off heroin, but he’s topping it off with some of the real stuff.
Pete has also became friends with some hefty, ex-streetfighter named Ray who is protecting him, naturally. Other inmates know he’s getting drugs from the outside, so he’s in danger. Ray is making sure nothing happens to him. No word on how Pete is paying Ray back?
A Prison Service spokesman said last night: “We will act on any intelligence which indicates drugs are being smuggled or abused.” That all sounds good but it sounds like cheap talk to me. How about drug testing Pete?
Quoting the Sun “Prison officers are said to treat Doherty like a superstar – and tramp from other wings to get his autograph”. One part of me thinks maybe the Sun is making some if this stuff up, after all how could this information be available to a newspaper inside a prison? Then I remind myself they have pictures of Pete inside his cell and I think that is one screwed up prison security wise.
