Russell Brand has been transferred to a category C prison, his wife Laura has confirmed, in her first public comments since his jailing.
On Monday, the comedian was sentenced to 10-and-a-half years in prison after being convicted of one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault.
Over the weekend, Brand was transferred from category B HMP Wandsworth in London to HMP Littlehey in Cambridgeshire, which houses men convicted of sexual offences.
Laura Brand returned to the couple's podcast on Sunday, saying that she had spoken to her husband in prison and he "is OK and is praying". Brand has positioned himself as a Christian influencer, and has a large following among believers, including in the US.
HMP Littlehey, a category C training prison, is one of the largest prisons in Europe for men convicted of sexual offences.
It held more than 1,200 prisoners as of January 2025, according to data from the Independent Monitoring Board.
Before Brand's move to the prison, a source close to the disgraced comedian said he was doing "remarkably well considering the circumstances" at HMP Wandsworth and that he had been moved from isolation to a main wing.
A member of staff at Wandsworth said there had been "much excitement"
