Barton Likely To Move Away From Liverpool Jail!
He was initially sent to HMP Liverpool for assessment, but bosses have decided to send him to an open prison to prevent a revenge attack by inmates.
A prison source said: "The thinking is that if they send him outside the area he may be safer because less people know him, but he is a Premier League footballer.
"Some prisoners might try to make a name for themselves having a famous footballer alongside them.
"It might not be a happy period for him. Just because he's a footballer doesn't mean he'll be treated different to the rest."
