Girls Gone Wild creator isn't too wild about being in prison

From Philly.com: Joe Francis is going wild. Stuck in a leaky, rundown Florida prison for the last 32 days on contempt charges, the entrepreneurial sleazebag (Woah, Philly.com is pissed!) who made a fortune persuading drunken college girls to flash their tits now spends his days cringing at the harsh stares of fellow inmates. Yeah, and?

And crying. Lots of crying. In fact, sources tell TMZ.com that Francis has cried every single day behind bars.

"I don't think I can handle this on a long-term thing - I'm not a criminal," the shackled porn king complained during a psychiatric evaluation ordered by his defense team earlier this month and released on The Smoking Gun yesterday.

Francis, who claimed to be housed with "all murderers," will face federal tax evasion charges in Nevada once he finishes his 45-day stint at Bay County Prison in Panama City.

The shrink diagnosed the 34-year-old "Girls Gone Wild" video magnate as "clinically stable" but not without serious issues. Francis is taking anti-anxiety drugs, the report on The Smoking Gun states.

"Continued confinement in his current status would be psychiatrically unproductive," opined Dr. Ronald Markman.

Wonder how psychiatrically unproductive it is to be a 20-year-old coed who sobers up to realise her drunken prank will be in perpetual rewind on some pervy old goat's TV screen. Fuck, Philly.com goin' for the jugular!

Francis also is scheduled for a hearing tomorrow, TMZ.com says, on charges he used minors for sexual performances.
