*Inmates at the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections, where Bill Cosby is serving a 3-to-10 year stint for drugging and molesting Andrea Constand in 2004, were so excited to see him that they allegedly dubbed him the “OG” = “original gangster,” Radar Online reports.
According to a press release from the prison, “Cosby is being housed in a single cell — 8 feet by 13 feet and 10 feet tall — in a unit adjacent to the infirmary, per cnn.com. He will be “allowed phone calls and visitation in accordance with policy, as well as opportunity to exercise during the classification process.”
John Wetzel, the Corrections Secretary, said he and his team are working hard to ensure Cosby’s safety inside the institution.
“We are taking all of the necessary precautions to ensure Mr. Cosby’s safety and general welfare in our institution,” said Wetzel. “The long-term goal is for him to be placed in the general population to receive the programming required during his incarceration.”
The disgraced comedian is now at SCI Phoenix in Collegeville, Pa. Amy Worden, press secretary for the state’s Department of Corrections, explained to Fox News that Cosby is now known as Inmate No. NN7687, and will have “access to a game room and exercise room.”
In addition, he “will be able to purchase his own television, radio and tablet so that he will be able to receive email, music and books,” Worden said. “These are possessions that inmates are allowed to have.”
Cosby will be eligible for parole after serving three years. His sentence includes lifetime mandatory sex offender counseling.
