No convicted rapist no matter who they are is gonna be treated like a celeb especially by other inmates and def not by the screws, I've not read the book yet and regardless of the comments he makes about that period I remember that interview so well as it was the first ever time id seen Tyson as a human being , close to tears totally broken and actually showing some emotion...I think it was Harry Carpenter as it goes who interviewed him.
Thats why it sticks in my mind.
Ill see if I can find it anywhere and post it up then draw your own conclusion ;-)

I remember the interview you're on about. I'm pretty sure he saw the inhuman stuff being done to other people. I don't think for a minute that anything got done to him. Maybe a celebrity is the wrong word but he definitely would have been a special case in prison.
