Bill Cosby is once again speaking out from behind bars, and comparing himself to three of the most respected non-violent political protesters in history.
In his statement, Cosby compares his time in prison to the sentences of Nelson Mandela and Gandhi while at the same time saying he has no remorse for any of his actions.
'Here’s why I, have "no" remorse and will never have remorse. I was given a deal; I settled out of court for $3.8 million dollars; I waived my 5th amendment rights; I was declared Not Guilty in 2005 by the Commonwealth - never charged,' said Cosby in his first comments from prison, which were relayed through his spokesperson Andrew Wyatt.
'However, a low-life District Attorney and a corrupt Judge needed me Guilty now. Not for justice, but for their political aspirations. They say, Mr. Cosby you must attend these classes. Why? One word. Entrapment!'
This comes one day after Wyatt told NBC 10 that Cosby was having an 'amazing experience' in prison, where he exercises daily at 3:30am, has cut bread and coffee from his diet and rises his food with water to lower his sodium intake.

Peaceful: Cosby, speaking out from prison for the first time , said he has 'no remorse' for his actions and should never have been put on trial (Gandhi above in 1931)
Cosby goes on to explain why he believes these public officials were so eager to put him behind bars.
'My political beliefs, my actions of trying to humanize all races, genders and religions landed me in this place surrounded by barb wire fencing, a room made of steel and iron,' explained Cosby.
'So, I now have a temporary residence that resembles the quarters of some of the Greatest Political Prisoners - Martin Luther King, Jr., Mahatma Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, Randal Robinson, and Dr. Benjamin Chavis.'
He then closed out by declaring: 'I stand upright as a Political Prisoner and I Smile. The Truth is Strong!'
