Bill Cosby, Isolated No More, Joins Other Inmates in Prison
As he adjusted to incarceration, Bill Cosby spent his first four months in prison in a special unit, isolated from other inmates, out of concern for his safety at SCI Phoenix, a maximum-security facility outside Philadelphia.
But last week authorities moved him from so-called administrative segregation to join the general population at a wing that houses other inmates, according to the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections.
Amy Worden, a spokeswoman for the corrections department, said Mr. Cosby made the move on Jan. 28, though she would not specify the wing to which he was sent.
Ms. Worden said ... that the prison does not have a special area reserved for older inmates.
“Being released into the general population means he will have shared meal times, shared yard time, all out-of-cell time will be among other individuals,” said Jennifer Storm, the state’s victim advocate who is familiar with the prison where Mr. Cosby is serving a three-to-10 year sentence for sexual assault.

"Bill Cosby played a doctor on TV but now he apparently thinks he’s a real one."
"He has assumed the role of his character Dr. Heathcliff Huxtable from The Cosby Show and is playing doctor behind bars and dishing out medical advice to inmates.
The 81-year-old, “believes he learned a lot about how to cure people and speak to patients after playing Dr. Huxtable for nearly eight years on ‘The Cosby Show,’” the source said.
“He is accepting appointments from inmates to help diagnose anything from a cold to obesity. If he thinks they’re incurable, he refers them to the infirmary with a ‘preliminary diagnosis,’” the source admits.
“He told us that he wore a bedsheet like an ‘apron’ to get into character,” the source told the news outlet. “He said his medical skills are ‘a tad rusty’ since he played Dr. Huxtable, but he’s still ‘hip’ to the ‘role.’”
he is having an "amazing experience" in prison. AND he just compared himself to Mandela and Ghandi
