Troubled singer Amy Winehouse has been banned from no-strings visits to her jailbird husband after he failed a drug test… in jail.
The six-time Grammy Awards nominee can now only see Blake Fielder-Civil from behind a glass screen with no physical contact. Life is tough these days.
The move by London’s Pentonville prison, where Blake Fielder-Civil is now awaiting trial over assault and trial-fixing allegations, comes after he tested positive last week for a Class A drug, thought by many to be heroin.
Visits to remanded prisoners such as Blake normally take place in an open hall with officers patrolling. But an insider said: “As a precaution, the governor has banned Amy from having any more open visits with Blake.
“They now have to meet in a room separated by a bullet-proof glass screen.”
It looks as if Amy Winehouse may be smuggling drugs to Blake-Fielder-Civil.
Amy Winehouse, 24, who was arrested and later freed on bail in Fielder-Civil’s case, has been known to hide drugs in her bird’s-nest / beehive hairdo when on stage. You know where we are going with this, right?
She has not visited Fielder-Civil, 25, since he failed the random drugs test. A pal of Amy’s said: “She’s paranoid and shaking every time she goes there and has decided to give it a miss for a while.” We assume that means cool it.
Blake Fielder-Civil has lost some of his privileges over the failed drug test and has been moved to the jail’s sex perverts wing as a punishment. And here we thought that only happened in films like The Shawshank Redemption.
A Prison Service spokeswoman declined to discuss individual prisoners.
