Chris Huhne 'offered Twix bars and treated as hero by fellow inmates' That's because there is a lot of macho posturing in here and everyone sticks together when it comes to a case, such as his, involving a woman who they think has behaved badly by getting revenge on a man. That's how they view what happened to him. He said other inmates even wanted to have their picture taken with the former leading Liberal Democrat politician. Davenport, a former public schoolboy known as "Fast Eddie," was jailed for seven years and eight months in 2011 for his part in a £4.5 million scam. At least 50 companies were defrauded. He said prisoners were being "nice" to Huhne "making cheery comments and giving him stuff." "They have also been offering to get him little extras from the canteen that improve life a bit, like Twix bars," Davenport added. He said Huhne had been wearing a grey prison issue tracksuit, and had a cell to himself. It was believed that he was due to be transferred "somewhere else less secure" soon, Davenport added.
