Convicted sexual predator Bill Cosby is having an "amazing experience" in prison—at least that's what his spokesperson claims.

"Despite the circumstances, he said this is an amazing experience," Andrew Wyatt told NBC 10 Philadelphia. "Yeah, he used the term amazing experience."

The spokesman went on to tell the outlet that Cosby is seemingly thriving behind bars. The disgraced comedian was locked up in late September 2018, after he received a three- to 10-year prison sentence for drugging and sexually assaulting Andrea Constand over a decade ago.

"Right now I'm his only visitor outside of his attorneys, and that's the way he wants it," Wyatt told the outlet. He also said Cosby's wife, Camille Cosby, has not visited her husband since his incarceration began, but talks to him three times a day by phone. "She has not visited him. He does not want her to visit him."

The spokesman, who has worked with Cosby for almost 10 years, described the comedian's life in prison and how he has been making changes to improve his health. Wyatt claimed Cosby wakes up every day before dawn and exercises, and tries to avoid bread, dessert, sodium, and caffeine.

"He hasn't drank any coffee since he's been in there," Wyatt said. "Now the funny part about it, Mrs. Cosby's been trying to stop him from drinking coffee for 55 years, and it took this to stop him from drinking coffee."

Cosby was transferred to a general population unit a couple of weeks ago, after spending four months in "special housing" next to the infirmary. The 81-year-old is now in a single cell without a cellmate; however, his fellow prisoners assist him around the facility because of his vision problems.

"When I visit him, it's nothing sad about it," Wyatt said. "He’s not sad. He's not remorseful because he did nothing wrong."

Cosby has vehemently denied Constand's claims, as well as the slew of other sexual accusations lodged by dozens of other women. The comedian's attorneys are appealing his sentence, citing 11 so-called "errors" that occurred during the court proceedings.
