Pete Doherty is a free man — after serving just 29 days of his 14-week jail sentence for breaching his probation.
The ‘Babyshambles’ rocker, 29, left London’s Wormwood Scrubs prison at around 7am Monday morning dressed in a suit and tie.
He told waiting reporters that he was looking forward to spending time with his pet cat and having a rum and Coke.
Pete then borrowed a reporter’s phone so that he could call a friend to pick him up. He showed the waiting media a certificate confirming that he had passed a drugs test while inside.
He described prison life as “a lot of gangsters and Radio Four” and when asked if he had taken any drugs whilst inside the tough prison, he replied: “Well, I knew it was going to be a bit rough to start with, with the overcrowding and the medical facilities although they do their best — they are good, they can’t really cater for the average junkie…”
As he walked through the prison’s exit Doherty, who will be returning to to his rented country mansion, said: “Thank you Mrs Thatcher for putting me in the company of the most dangerous criminals in the country.”
He said he had kept a journal while inside and showed the waiting press doodles and sketches he had penned in his cell.
