Pete treated like a king in jail
The troubled rocker has been given his own cell, a TV, radio and bunk bed in a secure unit of Wormwood Scrubs Prison, in London.
A source told Britain's The Sun newspaper: "He is on the segregation unit because of who he is. It's thought he could be vulnerable. It's basically the five-star treatment which takes most prisoners weeks of good behaviour to achieve."
Doherty was jailed for fourteen weeks after breaking the terms of his suspended sentence.
Judge Davinder Lachar ruled the Babyshambles star was in "breach of time-keeping, non-compliance of his order and using different drugs" when handing down the sentence earlier this month.
Doherty has reportedly been adjusting well to prison life, with the help of video messages from former girlfriend Kate Moss.
Doherty has also been getting involved in prison activities, including auditioning for the part of Romeo in a production of 'Romeo and Juliet' and has vowed to work on the next Babyshambles album.
