Doherty given 'five-star' jail treatment

Pete Doherty has been given "five-star" treatment while in jail, say reports.

The troubled Babyshambles singer is considered a "high risk" prisoner so he has been given a room in the segregation wing with extra privileges, according to The Sun.

Other prisoners at Wormwood Scrubs are apparently angry that the musician has been given the benefits that are usually reserved for inmates that display good behaviour.

"He’s in the segregation unit because of who he is," said a source. "It’s thought he could be vulnerable.

"He’s been put on enhanced privileges, 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."

The rocker was given a jail sentence last week after he breached the terms of his probation order.
