Posted on Thu Dec 22nd, 2011 8:40am PDT By X17 Staff
Cameron Douglas, son of actor Michael Douglas, has been sentenced to four additional years in prison for taking drugs while in jail. He was originally jailed in April 2010 on a five-year sentence for dealing meth and cocaine ... and possessing heroin.
The 33-year-old inmate reportedly asked the judge to "consider his crime a consequence of drug addiction." In court, Cameron told the judge, "You see your honor, I cannot seem to find comfort in my own skin."
Despite Douglas' plea, the judge said he needed a harsher punishment for his pattern of "reckless, disruptive and non-compliant" behavior.
Combined with his previous sentence, Douglas must now serve nine years total behind bars.
