Boy George – From Songbird to Jailbird

george_header_1005_39301aFormer 80's pop star Boy George, real name George O'Dowd, is getting out of prison next week - after serving just a quarter of his jail sentence. The former Culture Club singer will be freed just four months into his 15-month term for chaining a male escort to a hook in his bedroom.

Some are claiming special treatment.

One inmate griped: "George is getting out of here in the shortest possible time. He's been a good prisoner like a lot of us, but he does seem to have been treated with kid gloves and it's caused jealousy."

George will have an ankle tag and curfew when he leaves the supposedly cushy Edmunds Hill jail in Suffolk where he did most of his time after being transferred from London's tough Pentonville Prison before being moved to Category C Edmunds Hill. While in the clink, he has been employed as £15-a-week pot washer.

The "Karma Chameleon" singer was jailed in January for falsely imprisoning a Norwegian male prostitute named Audun Carlsen back in 2007 at his East London home. Boy George met the boy toy online and they agreed to meet in person for a pornographic photo shoot, according to reports.

"I absolutely admit I had him in the handcuffs, so he wouldn't go anywhere while I checked the computer. I certainly wasn't going to kill him, that's hardly going to do my career any good is it," said Boy George on the tape.

The false imprisonment apparently happened at their second meeting when the former Culture Club front man became suspicious that the paid date was hacking into his computer and stealing the photos. George not only chained him up, said the escort, but he also beat him with a chain.

To that Boy George says on the tape, "You can't spank anyone if they don't want you to. Those are serious handcuffs, there was no reason to beat him up when I'd put him in those. I was just so angry. It wasn't about me doing anything, I just wanted to make sure he did not leave my house."

In case you are wondering, the boy hooker escaped by unscrewing the hook he was handcuffed to. Crazy shiz...
