But forget the Egyptian cotton sheets and en suite bathrooms - Chris Brown should feel lucky to have a daily shower in his new Virgina jail.
The pop star has transferred to a new jail as he awaits his April 23 court date - after spending three weeks in solitary confinement for his own safety in an LA prison.

Newfound freedom: Chris Brown has been transferred to another jail in Virginia where he enjoys much greater liberties than his time in solitary confinement in Los Angeles
Brown was locked away after being kicked out of court-ordered rehab - where he had been ordered to stay until his trial for allegedly breaking a man’s nose during an altercation in Washington D.C. last year. But the 24-year-old recording artist now enjoys a whole newfound freedom, as he has been transferred to another jail in Virginia a couple weeks before the April 23 court date.
Whereas TMZ reports he was once on lockdown 23 hours a day while in Los Angeles, Chris now has access to daily showers, TV, the library, telephone, exercise, and meals in the cafeteria.
An administrator at Northern Neck Regional Jail confirmed to TMZ that the Forever hitmaker is now an inmate placed in limited general population without any restrictions.
Chris arrived in Washington D.C. after journeying for five days aboard a plane guarded by U.S. Marshals, whilst restrained.
According to TMZ, the trip was elongated because it made several pit stops to pick up other prisoners.
A glimpse inside: The 24-year-old recording artist was being held at the notorious Men's Central Jail in downtown Los Angeles
Isolated: The rapper was being held in solitary to protect him from fellow inmates
Chris’ new living situation is certainly an upgrade from his time in the notorious Men’s Central Jail in downtown Los Angeles, the setting of what he declared ‘the worst experience of my life.'
He was being held in solitary confinement to protect him from other inmates – spending his hours in the small space, which had a basic bed frame, a small sink and a filthy toilet.
Surely a far cry from the accommodation Chris is used to, TMZ reported that the singer complained about the fact he was only allowed to shower once every two days.
