The Prison System: Still A Mystery
I guess I don't really understand how the prison system works, especially overseas, because I have a few questions spurred by this weekend's latest Amy Winehouse drama. Her husband, the lovely Blake Incarcerated, was caught (complete with photographic evidence) taking heroin in his London prison cell. Surprising, no? I really thought he was getting his act together.
So maybe this is naive of me, but why is he consistently able to get his grubby hands on illegal substances while being locked away in a prison cell? And who is this person taking the pictures? Do they allow cameras behind bars? And who is paying all of this money for exclusive photos of anyone Amy Winehouse-related taking drugs? Is this really breaking news?

Drugs are prevelant in British and American prisons. Some would argue that it is easier to get hold of them behind bars than on this side of freedom. This is something that both governments know but have trouble doing much about, which is sad becuase it hugely impedes the reform aspect of jail.
As far as taking pictures go, I wouldn't be surprised to learn that a certain tabloid has a man on the inside to do that job for them. TNOTW has built a reputation on its Sunday exposes - setting up, then filming the rich and famous doing naughty things - they'll pay handsomely for evidence as they gain immersurabely in sales.
Mr Fielder-Civil's no angel but TNOTW are making a pretty penny out of proving the obvious, aren't they the paper who leaked Amy's racist tape?
In place of TNOTW, I should have written British tabloids because obvioulsy this story and picture comes from Ths Sun, an equally as odious publication.
