Special-needs cell, inmate chaperone and extra security: What could Bill Cosby expect if he is sentenced to prison time after guilty verdict

Millionaire comedian Bill Cosby will likely see his entourage of aides replaced by an inmate paid pennies to help the legally blind convict navigate life behind bars after he is sentenced for sexual assault.

Cosby, 80, faces up to 30 years in prison when he is sentenced in the next three months for drugging and raping Andrea Constand, 45, in 2004 at his sprawling compound outside Philadelphia. He is appealing the verdict, which could potentially delay his imprisonment for months or even years.

Should he eventually receive prison time, the disgraced 'America's dad' of The Cosby Show fame will become probably the best-known celebrity to hear the gates of the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections shut behind him, according to a department spokeswoman, Susan McNaughton.


She said previous and current high-profile inmates have included legislators, ex-police officers and Jerry Sandusky, a former Pennsylvania State University football coach convicted in 2012 of being a serial child molester.

Incarceration will be a stark change for the comic, whose net worth was estimated in 2016 by Fortune magazine at $400million, with $100million invested in real estate, including homes in New York, Massachusetts and Nevada. He also owned a private jet, artwork and dozens of classic cars.
