Pete Doherty Released From Prison

• 6th May 2008

Babyshambles singer Pete Doherty was released from prison this morning.

The singer had served 29 days of a 14-week jail sentence for breaching probation. He said that he found the medical facilities difficult as he started his sentence.

“Well, I knew it was going to be a bit rough to start with,” he said, “with the overcrowding and the medical facilities. Although they do their best – they are good, they can't really cater for the average junkie.”

When asked what the worst part of being in the prison was he joked, “Gangsters and Radio 4, basically.”
