The man once known as “America’s Dad” now has a new moniker: Inmate No. NN7687.
Bill Cosby, sentenced to 3 to 10 years in prison, arrived Tuesday night at Pennsylvania’s State Correctional Institute at Phoenix. The prison in Collegeville is about 30 miles northwest of Philadelphia and not far from the Montgomery County courthouse where the comedian was convicted of drugging and sexually assaulting Andrea Constand.
SCI Phoenix is brand new, state of the art — and maximum security.
Cosby was “in good spirits last night,” said Lisa Durand, spokesperson for SCI Phoenix.
He spoke to his wife, Camille, on the phone on Wednesday morning, Cosby spokesman Andrew Wyatt said. Cosby declined to have his family attend the sentencing hearing because he didn’t want them harassed by the media, Wyatt added.
The Cosby children have no comment at this time, but Wyatt confirmed that an appeal is being developed.
