AFL bad boy Ben Cousins discusses his time in prison and reveals how he was treated by fellow inmates in rare interview


Ben Cousins has opened up about his experience in prison in a rare interview on Wednesday.

Referring to an incident where he was attacked by another inmate, he added: 'At some stage, that will probably find you, no matter who you are... but you meet people from all walks of life, but the novelty wears off pretty quick.' His public battles began in 2007 when rumours surfaced about his drug use amid incidents like abandoning his car to evade police and being found asleep outside a casino. Despite efforts at rehabilitation, including stints in costly US rehab facilities, his struggles persisted, culminating in multiple arrests and legal issues.
