Convicted rapist Russell Brand is set to be transferred to HMP Wakefield, the prison where paedophile rocker Ian Watkins was killed, to serve his 10-year sentence.
The 51-year-old disgraced comedian is currently held at HMP Wandsworth but is reportedly being assessed ahead of the move to the jail known as the "Monster Mansion."
Move seen as safer option
Despite the prison's reputation and the fatal stabbing of the former Lostprophets frontman Watkins, HMP Wakefield is viewed as a safer option than Wandsworth.
A source said: "Brand will have an incredibly tough time."
