DOHERTY WANTS TO GO TO PRISON

Ah, so you're Johnny Cash now, are you, Pete? Doherty has come up with the idea of a gig at Pentonville which, the way he's going, might make sense as he'll wind up there anyway.

We know this because of a "pal":

“Pete knows the staff and some inmates from his stays and thinks it will be good for prison morale. He loves the idea of making it into a prison tour and recording the shows.”

Not, of course, that he thinks his run-ins with the law has turned him into some sort of latterday outlaw.

The prisoners have asked if they could get Rachel Stevens instead.
