Uncut Pete Doherty Interview on Release From Prison (2008)

On 6 May 2008, singer-songwriter, musician, and poet Peter Doherty held an impromptu press conference by the gates of Wormwood Scrubs following his release from the West London prison. The renowned bad boy of noughties rock had served four weeks of a 14-week prison sentence handed down to him after the Libertines frontman breached a probation order. Expecting to be picked up by his manager, Doherty emerged to find a press pack awaiting him before learning that his manager was late. While he tried to track down a lift home, Doherty spoke to the assembled journalists about his latest stint in prison. He showed the cameras a certificate confirming he had passed a drugs test while inside, as well as a few pages of a journal he had kept over the past month. Summing up his experience, Doherty described prison life as "a lot of gangsters and Radio 4".
