American stand-up comedian, actor, author, and convicted sex offender, William Henry “Bill” Cosby Jr known as Bill Cosby is expected to spend the next three to ten years of his life in a new $400million Pennsylvania state prison while serving out his sentence for drugging and molesting a woman more than a decade ago.
The 81 yr old comedian, was sentenced on Tuesday after his April conviction for having drugged and sexually assaulted Andrea Constand, a former Temple University women’s basketball administrator, in 2004.
Cosby is expected to serve out his sentence at SCI Phoenix in Collegeville, Pennsylvania, although he will spend the first few days of his prison sentence at the Montgomery County Jail outside Philadelphia.
Cosby will then be taken to SCI Phoenix, where staff will assess his physical, medical and security needs.
The prison is brand new, and said to be state of the art.
However according to Inmates, the facility which opened on July 9, had ‘limited access to water’ and the state’s most restricted telephone policy.
SCI Phoenix is a maximum security, 3,830-bed, handicap-accessible, state-of-the-art prison which began operating earlier this year.
The $400million prison is staffed by 1,200 full-time employees and features 164 acreage inside its double ring of razor wire fences and a 1.5mile perimeter.
Among the prison’s program offerings are sex offender treatment, victim awareness and impact of crime classes.
If Cosby is deemed at risk because of his celebrity or as a risk to others, he’d be held in solitary confinement, spending most of the day alone in his cell.
Immediately after he was sentenced, Cosby was escorted from the courthouse and into a dark SUV before being taken to the Montgomery County Correctional Facility.
