I’ve spent a lot of time over worrying about Phil Spector. Is he happy? Is he warm? Is he safe? Does he feel content with his life? Does he have good reading material and yummy, nutritious food to eat? So you can imagine just how devastatingly bummed I was to learn that the answer to all these questions was pretty much no. Poor Phil. He’s written a letter to a friend, copies of which were given to Page Six, in which he is absolutely astounded and infuriated that a murderer should be treated… like a murderer. The nerve!
Relatedly, Phil doesn’t even know where he is. Not a big surprise.
Music legend-cum-murderer Phil Spector is whining about being locked up in a “snake pit” of a prison with such other high-profile killer nutjobs as Charles Manson and Sirhan Sirhan — but California corrections officials say Spector is full of beans.
“Imagine sending me to the same prison — shows how low they can go,” fumes Spector in a letter to a buddy, Bay Area music manager Steve Escobar. “They’d kill you in here for a 39-cent bag of soup!”
California prison spokeswoman Terry Thornton sputtered when asked about the claims by the 69-year-old “Wall of Sound” impresario, who’s doing a life stint for killing B-list actress Lana Clarkson. “It’s ridiculous! Because Spector is not in the same prison!” said Thornton, noting that he’s locked up in the California Substance Abuse Treatment Facility a full two miles away from the Corcoran State Prison that houses Manson and Sirhan. “If he has fears about his safety, he needs to tell prison administrators.”
But things aren’t all bad for Spector in prison, according to his letter, which his publicist, Hal Lifson, provided to Page Six. Spector wrote Escobar that Phil’s 29-year-old wife, ex-Playboy model Rachelle Short, has begun making an 800-mile round trip drive to visit him. The oddball record producer quipped that Rachelle’s visits were a “Darwinian blessing” — but also griped that a “mean and nasty” guard ordered her to change clothes four times to comply with the prison’s dress code. “Rachelle piled me up with dinners to eat in my cell so I don’t have to go in to the dining room with the scumbags,” Spector wrote.

The sentence “Imagine sending me to the same prison” should really be “Imagine sending ME to the same prison!” And then some more about how wonderful and special and unique he is, because he’s Phil Specter. How dare they try to get in the way of his murdering people when he feels like it! Can you believe the California courts will actually lock up a genius like Phil Specter and make him feel the full consequences of his actions? Vindictive folks, I tell you.
I used to work in a volunteer program at a state prison when I lived in Seattle. I cannot tell you how many times I was told to change my clothes. You can’t wear underwire bras. You can wear anything with a v-neck. And as I embarrassingly found out in front of my professor, you sure as hell better not wear a very loosely fitting polo shirt with buttons, because you will be told by a guard to button it up all the way since, “I assume you’re not here looking for dates.” So I really have no sympathy for Phil’s wife. And considering she seems to be attracted to jailbirds and murderers, I assume she is looking for dates. I’m surprised she was able to make herself presentable on the fourth try.
So boo hoo, life is not filled with pleasure when you kill someone. It’s so cute that Phil thinks this is the real injustice. Wonder what kind of angry letter he’ll write when he dies in prison?

Well Phil, you shouldn’t have done the crime, if you didn’t want to do the time.
Oh, also, was it necessary for Page 6 (?) to say “69-year-old “Wall of Sound” impresario, who’s doing a life stint for killing B-list actress Lana Clarkson” I mean really, couldn’t they have just said “actress, Lana Clarkson” was B-List necessary?

Well his wife has a simple strategy to follow .. stick with him until he croaks out, then collect the fortune. A few visits and some clothing rules won’t hurt her much.

Ummmm…..His wife is 29?! Looks more like 39!

I was not aware soup came in bags. Is that just a prison thing, because a can could be used as a weapon? Sharp edges and all?
Second, does he have a microwave and fridge in his cell? Because I’m trying to figure out what could stay fresh in between visits without refrigeration. Sounds like a cushy cell!
Third, I’m pretty sure inmates get computer time – I hope someone reads these comments and shanks him. Not to death, just causing a lot of pain and more fear. He deserves to live a long time.

I wonder what substance(s)abuse(s) he is being treated for?I always thought he was schizophrenic. Or maybe a heavy case of Bi-Polar brought on by self medication. He’s been in this Substance Abuse Facility for quite a while now if that is where he went when he first admitted into the system. Such a lost soul. A true genius gone wacko sort of like Jacko.

No way is she 29, I agree with the 39 comment!! Phil is just trying to get sympathy, if the guards are mean to him it’s because he’s a scumbag liar making them sound unprofessional!! I hate guys like him & Simpson who do the crime and then whine about the poor me, I guess Fame doesn’t buy you the Ritz Carlton Prison they thought they’d get.

Hey, F*CK that mental retard Phil Spector. The only thing this loser deserves is to get buttf*cked in prison by multiple prisoners & killed slowly. That would be karmic JUSTICE…

Oh noes! Murderer, he no likes the prison and the bad men.
Oh noes! What shall we do?
Ah, that’s right, absolutely f*cking nothing except sit and laugh and point at him until we are all laughed and pointed out. Then we’ll rest and do some more laughing and pointing. Perhaps we can work in shifts so that there is always at least a BAJILLION people laughing and pointing at that loathsome Gollum-esque creature at all times.
Diddums. Cry me a river.

Obviously he’s a special case and as such, deserves preferential treatment. Add to that his victim actually committed suicide, and there you have it. Not.

Imagine the look on Phil Spector’s face when the first gigantor, tattooed inmate looked him dead in the eye, after eyeing him in the shower and said, “you’s mah bitch now!”

From the looks of the photos, I think he already has taken a few swirls around the toilet. No wonder he was a slave to his wigs.

Firestarter, I was thinking the exact same thing! That’s the first thing I noticed, it was unnecessary to add the “b list” part.
His wife reminds of that E! True Hollywood Investigates of women who hook up with inmates/men who are on trial for serious crimes.

Finally justice…

Many celebs get so famous and rich that they are out of touch with reality. They feel they should not have to wait in line or be treated like everyone else. They are so used to being catered to that normal life seems such a burden to them. Too dang bad buddy. Now you have to live like a normal human.
