But lags ensured he came to no harm at privately run HMP Forest Bank in Salford, Gtr Manchester.
A source told The Sun: “Sometimes people will be targeted if other inmates know they have money, but they looked after him instead.
“They know he’s famous and also American so not really aware of how prisons work over here.
“He had no treats so all he could do was order the basic food you’re offered. When it was lock up at night-time, some of them were shouting, ‘Sing us a song Chris!’.”

It read: “To Dave, Thank you my brother, I appreciate everything you’ve done for me while I’ve been banged up. Keep being a good person. God sees all and he sees your heart. You’ll be home soon my bro. Cheers!!”
Brown was arrested at 2am last Thursday at Manchester’s Lowry Hotel.
