He was held there after a judge sentenced him to 15 months for falsely imprisoning Norwegian male escort Audun Carlsen, 29, and thrashing him with a chain, reports the Mirror.
Richard Lyttle, 40, held in the same cells on a driving charge, said: "When I walked into the cell I saw this fat, bald bloke sitting in the corner crying like a baby. He was shaking like a leaf, a total wreck.
"He kept sobbing over and over, ''I can''t go to jail - I''ll be killed.''
