DOHERTY READING KORAN IN JAIL

Jailed British rocker PETE DOHERTY is seeking solace in the teachings of Islam, as he serves his 14-week sentence in a London prison.

PETE DOHERTY

The Babyshambles frontman has been incarcerated at Wormwood Scrubs jail since 8 April (08), after breaching the terms of his probation from prior drug offences.

But, according to reports, he has now turned to the holy book the Koran in a bid to turn his drug-addled lifestyle around.

A close pal tells U.K. newspaper The Sun, "He's been reading the Koran since he went into segregation.

"He's got a lot of Muslim friends and they've been on at him for ages to study it. Now he's on his own he's got time on his hands to study it.

"I'm surprised how much it has calmed him down as he was very on edge inside. He definitely seems more chilled. He's really interested in it. I think it's helping him in there."

Doherty was recently put in an isolated cell after prison authorities thwarted a group of fellow inmates' plots to assault him.
