Russell Brand’s chilling 5-word reply to ‘how will you cope with prison’ question

Russell Brand said in a resurfaced interview that he had a “deal” with God about going to prison, after being asked how he would cope if convicted. The remarks have renewed attention following his sentence for rape and sexual assaults.

In an April interview with Piers Morgan, Brand said he had thought about prison every day and would not be afraid to face what happened. He was sentenced to 10 years and six months: nine years for rape and an additional 18 months for sexual assaults. The judge described him as a sexual predator who showed arrogance and disregard for women’s right to refuse.
