Russell Brand is reportedly being considered for a transfer to “Monster Mansion,” a notorious British prison housing some of the country’s most dangerous offenders.
The former Hollywood star, 51, is currently incarcerated at HMP Wandsworth following his conviction for rape and three sexual assaults.
According to The Sun, prison officials are assessing whether to move him to HMP Wakefield, where convicted sex offender Ian Watkins was killed by fellow inmates in 2025.
“Brand is being risk-assessed for a move to Wakefield,” a source revealed. “There are still some hoops to go through but staff at the prison are expecting him.”
The comedian was sentenced to 10 years and six months on Nov. 9. He has denied wrongdoing.
Before his downfall, Brand enjoyed close ties with several powerful celebrities, including Sean “Diddy” Combs. The pair starred in Get Him to the Greek, and Brand once recalled Diddy taking him on an “enforced holiday to Vegas.”
Brand also embraced Donald Trump’s political movement, publicly backing him during the 2024 presidential campaign and attending the Republican National Convention.
Meanwhile, six additional women have recently accused Brand of sexual misconduct, adding to the controversy surrounding his conviction.
