Plot to nick Jade's gift to Tweed

IN FEAR: Jailbird Jack
IN FEAR: Jailbird Jack

CONVICT Jack Tweed was moved to an open jail after lags plotted to STEAL his precious wedding ring, a gift from his tragic wife Jade Goody.

The 21-year-old was said to be terrified by inmates' threats to beat him up and pinch the Tiffany wedding band, as well as a £15,000 Rolex watch given to him by Jade before she died of cancer last month.

Tweed, serving a 12-week sentence for violently assaulting a cabbie, was moved from tough Chelmsford nick in Essex after fears for his safety.

He is now banged up in soft Category C Edmunds Hill jail in Suffolk, where he even has access to a PlayStation.

An insider said: "Prison bosses were concerned for his welfare and decided it was best if he was transferred."

Jack and Jade, 27, exchanged rings before their wedding, planned hurriedly when the Big Brother star was told her cervical cancer was untreatable.

You acted like a immature drunken idiot, so now deal with the concequences. Jade was famous, not him! Like people have said already, do the the crime do the time. He shouldnt get any special treatment whatsoever!

no sympathy here - he is not really serving time as it should be served - he appears to be on a holiday and moving to a soft prison should not be an option, and whatever he is thinking about taking a rolex watch into a jail, well he should have more sense. We shall be waiting for the next instalment about how he was terrified in jail etc., etcin in the copies of the magazines who will be paying him for his stories. Does he expect us to feel sorry for him - No way.

"said to be terrified by inmates' threats to beat him up"
Tough! He doesn't mind beating other people up, does he?

Have done some time for her Majesty and a wedding band is allowed in the nick & you can have a watch, times have changed since the 70's & 80's this is why so many people re offend as its to easy in jail, free meals, tv, gym etc etc. I missed my freedom to much am now married with kids and just qualified as a sparky so were not all bad. Good luck to the bloke i feel for him.

What is the prison service thinking of? Why is he wearing a Rolex watch in prison in the first place? And why didn't they just take it away from him and put it in a safe, instead of moving him to another prison? What a waste of money, and what sort of stupid message of weakness does it give to prisoners? Pathetic, if it's true.

The first thing I thought was why is he allowed to wear a 15k Rolex & Tiffany jewelry? He's in prison for Christ's sake where luxury's like that are bound to be a target.

prison is far to easy for prisoner's its far to cush'y for them...jack tweed palying on a play station... we cant aford one... mite do some crime my self..what a joke this guverment is.

By flip.. Posted April 26 2009 at 3:27 AM.

Strange!! I was a prison officer for 17 years and jewelery was confiscated until their release!..but that was back in the 70's and 80's!!

By xxx.. Posted April 26 2009 at 2:15 AM.

Scum! Leave the Man alone, all he's got left is his band and they want to sell it for 20 quid!
