Incarcerated Bill Cosby is dishing out parenting and life advice to his fellow inmates. The famous entertainer’s representative, Andrew Wyatt, says he is a busy man behind bars with as many as 4 lectures per week. He’s been doing this for around 3 months with crowds that often swell to more than 100 fellow prisoners.
Cosby’s pitch is that the inmates lead by example for their kids and stay outta prison in the future. He urges the inmates to re-bond with their kids immediately upon getting out. Cosby’s clearly trading on his all-American dad image from “The Cosby Show” … and it’s resonating with the prisoners.
Cosby works mostly with a group called “Man Up”, inmates set for parole, talking life lessons, keeping out of trouble and not getting locked up again. He is also lecturing on finding work post-prison, giving them tips on interviewing techniques. He also lectures on substance abuse, giving tips on how to stay clean. And, he’s mixing in his life lessons with comedy, which is laced through the lectures.
Recall that Bill Cosby was convicted of of drugging Andrea Constand, as well as aggravated indecent assault, for which he got a 3 to 10-year sentence.
