Russell Brand's First Night Behind Bars: Strip Search, 'Inedible' Dinner And A Round-The-Clock Watch

Russell Brand's First Night Behind Bars: Strip Search, 'Inedible' Dinner And A Round-The-Clock Watch Russell Brand was "petrified" during his first night in a UK prison after his rape conviction, according to the Sun . The 51-year-old comedian handed over his clothes for what the paper called a "humiliating" strip search, then got gray jogging bottoms, T-shirts, sweatshirts and underwear, a "first-night pack" of toiletries and a food pack of cereal, tea, milk, sugar, juice sticks and digestive biscuits.

He was also offered a toilet roll, a bible and a vape pack. His first prison meal was an "inedible" microwave dinner. Brand was allowed one three-minute call, which the prison had to approve. Before bed, staff carried out a mental health evaluation, checking his "state of mind" and making sure he "was not a danger to himself."
