Convicted child sex offender and former entertainer Rolf Harris has landed a much-desired gardening job in jail.
British tabloid The Sun has reported Harris, 84, is now getting paid to look after the jail vegetable patch and grounds.
An unnamed prisoner claimed he had been asking for a gardening job for a year.
"Harris should be cleaning the toilets after what he did, it's completely unfair," he said.
"It's sickening to see him roaming around in the sunshine this summer."
Inmates can spend the money they earn from their jail jobs on phone calls or luxuries such as DVDs.
Harris was sentenced to five years and nine months in prison for 12 indecent assaults on four girls dating to the 1980s.
He has applied to appeal his conviction.
