Wilson from Baildon, West Yorkshire, was sent behind bars in July for eight weeks last month for crimes including assaulting and harassing two women.

Wilson was convicted of assault by beating and assault against two women, damage to property and possession of class A drugs at Bradford and Keighley Magistrates Court.

Despite his serious crimes, Wilson posted a two and a half minute video posted on Facebook on Wednesday where he and and two other prisoners rap to a camera.

With the caption 'this is what boredom does to you,' Wilson is seen in the clip wearing a North Face t-shirt, and dancing in his cell before ripping his top off.

“He’s been sharing pictures from inside the can and the quality of the pictures is pretty good.

“It doesn’t seem as if he is showing much remorse for whatever he’s done to get in there for.”

On July 21, Wilson first posted from behind bars asking friends to write to him.

A friend asked how he could post on Facebook from inside: “How come you're on face???”
