Blake Fielder-Civil finds a novel way of getting high in prison

Amy Winehouse’s husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, has reportedly been swapping signed pictures of his wife for heroin.

According to The Sun, Fielder-Civil, currently in custody at London’s Pentonville prison, has been receiving small amounts of heroin in exchange for the pictures, which inmates plan to sell on eBay.

The newspaper quotes a source as saying: “He’ll [Fielder-Civil] take orders from other inmates then ask Amy to bring in signed photos of herself during visits.

“Once he’s back on the wing he’ll swap these for Joeys [small amounts of heroin]. The boys think they’ll get a few quid for them on eBay.”

The newspaper also reports that Fielder-Civil was ill last night (Feb 17) after taking contaminated heroin.
