Winehouse and jailhouse

Blake Fielder-Civil begged his wife Amy Winehouse to secretly buy him or fund his drug habit behind bars. Fielder-Civil, 25, told fellow lags he had asked the singer to make payments into the bank account of another con — that would then pass him heroin.

And a prison source revealed: “Blake’s addiction is just as bad as ever and he’s bragging about how he’s been asking Amy to help him get a fix. He showed us the bank details of a known dealer inside Pentonville and said he’d asked Amy to make regular wire transfers to this guy in exchange for heroin. “Apparently he wanted each transfer to end in a single pound, so the dealer would know who the money came from.”

The asking price for each “wrap” is said to be £100 — four times its street value. And the source said: “Blake doesn’t care as long as he gets his hit. He’s prepared to put his wife at risk. It shows how desperate he’s become.”

I’m not going to judge Mr. Fielder and his habits, I’m not going to judge Ms. Winehouse even though I feel really sorry because she’s wasting one of the greatest jazz voices of all time and she’s so young; what I cannot understand is what’s going on in the British prisons. Has anybody realized that Blake is in prison and he just asking money from his wife to find his drugs …inside the prison?
