Going To Jail! It's About Time!!!
Filed under: Anglophilia > Pete Doherty > Legal Matters
Drug-addled rocker Pete Doherty is going to jail for 14 weeks for breaking his probation order.
Doing drugs is against the law, crackhead. Breaking the law is against your probation terms!
We can't believe the Brits didn't lock him up earlier! They've given Doperty way too many chances.
According to reports, Petey was taken to lock down from West London Magistrates' Court following a 30 minute hearing Tuesday afternoon.
If you have tickets to his April 26th London show, don't worry. His record company said the show will be rescheduled and all tickets will be valid for the new date once it has been announced.
But anybody who buys tickets to see Pete Doherty in concert knows damn well to expect him to NOT show up!
Is 14 weeks enough time for Doperty in jail, though????

First. Glad, he's a fool.

But he will most likely only serve half of it… that's how jail works in England most of the time…
OMG! Everytime I see a picture of this guy I think Peter Lorre…..

He's gonna get fucked in the communal showers.
He's bisexual so he gona like it
:( NO, locking up pete just isn't allowed!
Maybe he'll go straight and then what'll we watch for entertainment ): theres only so much we can harass Winehouse.
FREE DOHERTY.
what he needs is treatment, not jail..hes an addict, and the same shit will happen when he is realesed from jail if he doesnt get help. jail does nothing for addicts. law system is fucked up
Still love him…Bilo forever!!
Rescheduled albert hall show will still be his biggest ever!!!!
" It's not easy getting out of bed,It's too easy getting outta ya head"–Doherty
he has been clean from drugs for several months. the times he took drugs were October of 2007. he has a drug problem. he is being jailed for not turning up to one of his meetings and being late for another. jail is NOT the best place for him as prisons are riddled with drugs only to tempt him even more. you probably shouldn't write articles on people you have no knowledge of. he is a good man.
Yes, because jail is a wonderful place to help someone overcome the disease of drug addiction… Jailing addicts serves no purpose - if someone's hooked on drugs, they'll still get drugs in jail - and then when they get out, not only do they still have their addiction, but they have the stigma of having been in prison. Given, having a prison record seems to be the "in" thing among Hollywood dumbasses today… but as a general policy, it just doesn't make sense. Mandatory rehab, sure. Jail? That's just a waste of taxpayer money.
He'll have a great time, I'm sure. Then we'll all have to put up with his poetry and music about stinky cell mates and taking it up the shitter for smack.
Het zou godverredomme wel eens tijd worden…
Wat een klootzak!
HE IS SO HOT Theres something about him…id do him
No, it's not enough time for him to go to Jail - why should get special treatment, the only reason he is famous because he is a loser junkie that dated Kate Moss.
yeah he's a stupid loser we know, Stop ragging on the brits you fat cunt i noticed how you ass kissed us before you came over here and now you know you aint coming for a while you just slip a little insult in here and there. Remember when you used to be such a dick to britney, now it's like your fucking in luv with her or something, you're such a dick from what i see the average american is good looking so what the fuck happened to you!
no….not the jail!! rehab is the answer!! pete i heart u!!
he HAS been to jail before….Twice.
He should have been put in jail much earlier and for much longer…it seems like Europeans are way too leniant when it comes to breaking the law…
FUCK U PEREZ. Have u got an idea of what means stay in jail for 14 weeks? What this guy did to u?
Bull of shit
I dont know why people are so happy to see pete shot down. He is a great artist
CAN I JUST POINT OUT, PETE DOHERTY HAS BEEN IN PRISON BEFORE (PENTONVILLE - WHERE BLAKE FIELDER-CIVIL CURRENTLY RESIDES), SO ALL YOU PEOPLE WHO SAY JAIL WILL FIX HIM ARE OBVIOUSLY SORELY MISTAKEN.
GOOD! I reported his crackhead ass to PETA for getting high with kittens (!!!), and they did not do anything. All talk, no action.
Aww man..I like Pete
:(:(
Jail won't cure him of his addictions. Jail isn't the answer for addictions. Only the person can battle addictions–no externals will. He'll be able to get all the smack he wants in jail.
Amy Crackhouse should be in jail along side him, but it might be a blessing for them because drugs are rampant in jail according to reports about Blake Fielder-Civil.
Keep your head up Pete!
You da man!
Frank Turrentine loves Pete Doherty
What are the odds he'll actually spend 14 weeks in jail? I doubt he'll learn anything from it anyway.
HAHA…THEY BETTER FRISK HIS ASSHOLE GOOD AT BOOKING,
HES PROBLY GONNA TRY TO KEISTER AMYS SNATCH IN FOR BLAKEY-POO.
To all you ignorant knuckle dragging morons who think addiction can be treated with jail time, Just wait till addiction hits you or a loved one.Then I wanna see you jumping up and down and crowing for jail time. You make me sick.
LEAVE PETE ALONE!
for fuck sake
he sings and plays, what do you do perez?
Everybody knows prisons are full of drugs- hardly the ideal way to help a drug addict. He needs rehab.
re ANN - DON'T BE SUCH A DOPE WOMAN!!!!! HE'S HAD A RIDICULOUS AMOUNT OF REHAB STINTS AND SECOND CHANCES. HE IS TOTALLY ABUSING THE FACT THAT HE IS IN THE PUBLIC AS HIS GET OUT OF JAIL FREE CARD. I'M ONLY SORRY HIS SENTENCE ISN'T A LOT LONGER.
Get Photoshop! Do sumthing good instead of writing in shitty paint handwriting!
Dont blame us brits for him not being in jail sooner, if it was up to the british public he would have been sent to jail after his first offence. He sickens me, hes been given more than enough chances to sort himself out and he still chooses to be a junkie waster. Not only that hes been herald as the saviour of indie music, his music is just tuneless bull shit.
hmmmm… gifted rock star with a drug problem.. or fat ass blogger named after an equally talentless heiress? Pete Doherty hands down
PETE IS A TALENTLESS WHORE, HE'S NOTHING WITHOUT KATE.
DOHERTY SUCKS.
Why must our society lock people up for doing crimes against themselves? The whole concept is Orwellian to me. If the guy wants to be a crackerjack junkie…who the fuck cares!!
I don't understand he's not even talented, CAN'T he just go away?
I LOVE PETE.
He's a sweetheart really…x
'Bout fookin' time!
Send him to the same prison as Blakeincarcerated - it could be the British version of Stir Crazy
At least throw away the damn key. Leave him in there. Clockwork Orange treatment.
I think there might be some culture clash here. In some U.S. prisons they have drug rehab in prison, which is why I think some people think jail will do Doherty good. Robert Downey Jr. got clean several years ago while he was in jail. Perhaps these recovery programs are not available English jails? Also it sounds like drugs are easier to get in jail over there?
I think most people would like to see him get help in any way possible. Some people are just under the impression that jail would help him get clean.
pete doherty is a legend yes he's a drug addict and hopefully this trip to prison will do him good just as long as he turns up for leeds festival!!
Re: nancy –
Be nice to see him get an fecking clue though.
I saw him some weeks ago in Basel/Switzerland and we were so happy he made it to the show
Hopefully he soon gets clean - I am not a big fan - my Sis is - but I don't want him to die - I want him to take a chance to show us once again what a genious he really is…
pete doherty is the bomb!!! and all you hatas can suck it!!!
:)
long live pete
and he shouldnt go to jail!!!
According to the way sentencing works here, he will spend less than 7 weeks in prison. On top of that, as the sentence in less than 52 weeks, he will leave prison without having to comply with any Probation orders as they are nullified once sentenced.
Frankly, he got off lightly. Most people in his situation would have already been sent to prison for violating their probation order and repeatedly breaking the law. I work for the Substance Misuse Team at a Probation Office in the UK… I've seen people with Class A addictions go to prison for a lot less.
And the reason for the resentencing is not down to drug use, but failure to comply with the requirements of his probation order. Rehab does not cure someone wilfully ignoring court orders.
pete should be in jail for WAY longer, but then agen the jails here in the UK are all full and have been now for about 2 years?? something like that neway. and the stopid governement would rather spened moeny on paying the mortgages of all the MP's and the prime minister than building anymore!! and nobody here (not even rapists and murders) serve their full sentence so he wil be out in like way less time neway.
He'll love it in there!
Wino will be in with a better chance of recovery without him visiting her all the time!
WHO THE FUCK IS PETE DOHERTY ANYWAYS????
should have put him in the chair straight off then, i suppose.
Doherty ass will suffer a large EXPANSION in the next 14 weeks — have is fans send plenty of SOAP ON A ROPE to the pokey for him….
Re: Whatever –
You sound pretty dumb, you rag on "fat cunt" ugh I hate that word cunt. It tends to make a person sound like complete trash.
Re: ~VERONICA –
not necessarily the best representation, but yes, he is a fucking genius despite what you may think of his personal life. hope this doesn't hinder his new albums too much.
perez how many times do i have to keep telling you not to be a dick to pete?
he shouldn't go to jail.
i hope they let him out after like 82 minutes like they did with lindsay.
this isn't fair.
FREE DOHERTY!
btw last time i heard he was clean.
what happened?
Re: petedohertyloveeeeer –
Why shouldnt he go to jail, go on make a intelligent statement
14 weeks is more than enough.
Ian Brown was totally changed after he spent time in prison, and that was just a month or something. Doherty will either come out of this a new man, or he won't come out at all.
NOOOO!
PETEEE!
Whyyy.
and why do you hate on him so much?
He's brilliant.
First of all, Im totally against drugs.
But I am a huge fan of Petes music. And I think, going to jail will probably the best for him, lets hope it will help him.
But what I dont understand is, that Kate Moss didnt get any time in jail at all after that coke-scandal! That bitch has a little daughter she is responsable for!!! She has always been poooooor Kate, and Pete has always been the bad one in that whole thing. I doubt that he forced her to do drugs, plus, she's been doing drugs throughout her entire model career. So get over it and leave Pete alone!
oh,hes been in jail at least two times earlier!but well,i LOVE him,hi´s brilliant,i hope he`ll learn not to break the law,and stop his drugabuse
perez,
u have 5 fotos of petey. all are feral. as for u 'wanting your own record label' perhaps u should listen to some good music.ie. > or even > before this happens. pete is a genius. as for ur attempt at a record label we already have enough operator please in the world.
poor pete! he"s such a tragically addicted person!! he has soo much talent and he gets ripped on soooo much… i dont think other talented musicians of the past were so ridiculed for their drug use, but it is really sad that he does have such a dependance!! he needs help not punishment!! free doherty
FREE PETE!
and to anyone who is going to have to wait a little longer for albert hall, just try your hardest. babyshambles is the greatest live act, honest.
Re: no more incarceration –
Completely agree with u!
…this idiot will probably find some way to score while in jail.
He needs about a year in forced rehab, but he'll probably be dead before he gets it. MAYBE jail will be good, but I doubt it.
14 weeks isn't enough.
2 years sounds more like it. : ]]]
HE DIDN'T DO DRUGS AGAIN. YOU ASSHOLES! who the hell doesn't have problems showing up in time to meetings these days???!!! just ’cause he did drugs doesn't meen that he's on it again.
WORD #23 - nadia
fuck all you people that has not even listen to his music
having met peter myself, hes a fab guy
im totally against drugs and people seem to think if your a fan that you must agree with what he does.
its sad to here so many people slag and call someone this and that when they dont even know them as a person.
and perez as for your comment about him not showing up?
ive seen peter 7 times and everytime he was there and he done his fans proud.
capeesh.
FREE PETE!! by far the best performer…not to mention the hottest.
i LOVE him! its so sad hes getting locked up, just cuz he has a drug problem doesnt mean hes a bad person leave the dude alone,his music is amazing
