Confined and Isolated

Sources claim Glitter spends up to 23 hours a day alone in his cell. He’s held on a Vulnerable Prisoner Unit for his own safety, after being returned to custody in March 2023 over concerns about his behaviour at a bail hostel.

Distressed and Struggling

Those close to the case reveal Glitter is increasingly distressed as he battles legal and financial woes. His prison sentence stretches all the way to 2031, with little relief in sight.
