Darnell: "Big Brother House Is Worse Than Prison"

At around midnight tonight, Darnell regaled the group with tales of US prison life.

The former bad boy, who was born in the UK but raised in the USA, was deported from America 18 months ago, reportedly for being involved in gang culture.

And referencing his own experience of doing porridge, the 26-year-old first explained the difference between jail and prison, saying that 'perps' go to jail for anything from one day to 365 days, but go to prison for sentences of 366 days to life.

The albino music man went-on to explain what the difference is between State and Federal prison, dubbing the former 'pretty rowdy'.

Taking the mick', Mohamed asked Darnell if he ever dropped the soap in the showers when he was locked-up, but Darnell just admitted that he had to clean the showers regularly.

There followed lots of talk about prison currency, with Darnell explaining that inmates will swap scoops of coffee for phone cards. Darnell also mentioned that he got the chance to read Shakespeare in prison.

And about being nice to the prison guards, the St Louis songwriter suggested that it wasn't worth it because, like Big Bro, the screws won't treat you any better for it.

A fascinated Rex was surprised that Darnell was happy to appear on the Big Brother show given his experience, adding, "You got out of prison, and now you're back in prison". In response, Darnell said that being in the Big Brother House is actually worse... because it contains (flirty) women!
