BRYAN FERRY - FERRY SON SLAMS U.K. JUSTICE SYSTEM

FERRY SON SLAMS U.K. JUSTICE SYSTEM

The son of rock legend BRYAN FERRY has slammed British prisons for not being tough enough - while serving a stint behind bars.
Otis Ferry was arrested and charged in April (08) after he was accused of wrestling a video camera from one woman as she filmed him reportedly taking part in a fox hunt - which is now an illegal sport in the U.K.
Ferry was remanded in prison in Gloucester, England for allegedly perverting the course of justice by trying to discredit a witness in the trial.
But, in a letter to a hunting magazine, Ferry allegedly mocks the British justice system - comparing being imprisoned to studying at a posh boarding school.
He says, "Contrary to popular belief, prison life is not tough, and in this namby-pamby society we even get our own televisions, although I have quickly realised that watching it is quite a punishment itself.
"I am not a TV watcher outside prison and so I keep to my books as much as possible. Other than that, we go outside for half an hour every day in a tennis court-sized yard, like battery hens, walk around in circles for a while then return to our cells for the rest of the day."
