## Summary

Reports say Russell Brand is being taunted by inmates at HMP Wandsworth following his conviction for rape and three counts of sexual assault. The alleged chant refers to his crimes and mocks his previously loud public persona, while reports also describe him as fearful in prison.

Wandsworth is severely overcrowded, holding 1,457 prisoners against certified accommodation for 894. Monitoring reports have described poor living conditions and recorded hundreds of assaults, alongside educational activities and family contact options. Brand’s sentencing is scheduled for Monday; a legal expert said he could face eight or nine years, and he has faced two further rape accusations since his conviction.
