Overview
PHIL SPECTOR has been sent to a "sensitive needs facility" for his first few months behind bars.
The music producer was taken to the California Substance Abuse Treatment Facility and State Prison at Corcoran on Monday, a unit designed for those who may need extra protection - including high-profile inmates.
Spector is serving 19 years to life for killing actress Lana Clarkson at his Alhambra, California home in 2003.
Prison boss Stephen Smith tells TV show Access Hollywood that the producer's notoriety was a factor in the decision to move Spector to the secure housing area, where typical inmates need protection from other prisoners.
