Russell Brand has reportedly been moved from his prison cell in London to a more “relaxed” jail 90 miles away.

The convicted sex attacker was transported from HMP Wandsworth to HMP Littlehey in Cambridgeshire on Friday, according to The Sun.

The 51-year-old comedian was jailed last week after being found guilty of raping one woman and sexually assaulting three others during his career.

According to the newspaper, concerns for Brand’s safety and him being deemed a low escape risk could have prompted the move.

Littlehey offers a large variety of extra-curricular activities for its inmates, including yoga, choir and indoor bowls. It also hosts an inter-wing football league.

His new confines reportedly consist of a single-person cell on the prison’s E Wing and he has yet to make contact with any of the other 1,200-odd inmates housed at the facility.

According to The Sun, Brand was assessed for a move to HMP Wakefield, where Lostprophets’ paedophile Ian Watkins was stabbed to death last year.

But it was thought to have been deemed too dangerous for Brand.

Retired prison governor Vanessa Frake told The Sun: “I am absolutely flabbergasted that he is in a Category C prison.

“He has no previous convictions, but he has got a substantial sentence — and there’s possibly more in the pipeline.”

Brand was sentenced to a 10-and-a-half-year prison term on Monday afternoon.

He is expected to serve two-thirds of his prison sentence before being released on licence.

Brand is being investigated by the Metropolitan Police over allegations made against him by more women.

They include Mia Latter, who has waived her right to anonymity to accuse Brand of raping her when she was 16 years old.

The woman, now 37, told The Sunday Times she has decided not to continue with the criminal process.

However the force has said the investigation into the alleged rape remains ongoing.

Ms Latter was referred to under the pseudonym of Alice in an investigation by the Sunday Times, The Times, and Channel 4 Dispatches documentary, which included allegations against Brand froma number of women.

Brand denied all the allegations at the time.
