Let's hope he delivers on this - and then possibly this experience for him has been a positive one.

Maybe he realises that he has many fans and people who enjoy his work - and just sitting around smoking all day in North London is a real waste of his talent to inspire and make peoples' lives better with his music.

I am glad has has been OK and that he sees a future for himself now. There are positives to being imprisoned because it does add a real perspective to the way you look at life.

He's had a great time in prison apparently.

Playing pool, laughing and joking with other inmates and wardens alike.

Must be a tremendous thrill for the inmates to have George Michael wandering up and down the landings.

I can imagine it has cheered up alot of people. To be able to meet someone so famous - many of them probably have never had the chance to meet someone like George before because they are mostly poor.

Hopefully he will have learned alot as well. I learned alot in my 8 weeks.

How bloody condescending. Very DICKensian.

An odd reply from BR...he's usually spot on.

I can assure you that I met no one rich or famous in Pentonville - many people I met were homeless on the outside and had to rely on Charities like St Mungos to find them somewhere to live when they got out.

I actually went in there wearing some decent clothes from NEXT that were quite new. I gave away much of what I had to people including the very shirt off my back because they had so little.

It is terribly sad to be fair and I am just telling it as it is - maybe JK can back me up on the fact that most people in Prison are poor from his experiences as well.

Sorry not to be PC - but it is the way it is and that is why Prison is wrong on many levels for most of the people who are jailed.
