Legendary producer and convicted murderer Phil Spector may be taking the Martha Stewart approach to jail-time. At least, in a way. Spector, age 69, has just begun to serve his 19 years to life sentence and, according to the Associated Press, he'd like to serve it with certain luxuries: specifically, the ability to listen to music, check email and watch his favorite shows. Spector is being held in a single cell in a "sensitive-needs facility" area of his new home, the State Prison at Corcoran, Calif. As a medium-security inmate at California's largest prison, he is allowed to ask for certain creature comforts and, at the top of his list, are an iPod, a television and a computer. Prison officials have indicated that those wishes will likely be granted.
Spector was transferred to Corcoran after an evaluation at North Kern State Prison where, he claims, he was mistreated. His allegations are being investigated. This isn't the first time the Corcaran State Prison has seen a celebrity locked behind its chains: In 1999, Robert Downey Jr. served time there as the result of a probation violation. No word on what comforts Downey was granted, but, you know -- he got out.
