A court found Russell Brand, 51, guilty of one rape and three sexual attacks. On Monday, the court gave him 10 years and six months in prison. He is now at HMP Wandsworth in south London. It is a large and old prison.

Chris Atkins spent eight months in the same prison. He said the first month can be very hard. Brand may stay alone in a small cell with a bed, sink and toilet. Prison workers took his phone, clothes and other things when he arrived. Some prisoners shouted his name, and staff think he may face attacks because of his sex crimes and fame.

Brand must ask for permission to call people and receive visitors. This process can take several weeks. He may also find it hard to get a prison job. Later, prison staff may move him to another prison with newer buildings and better conditions. Under current rules, he may leave prison after seven years, which is two-thirds of his sentence.
