David Bain was on suicide watch and chronically depressed at times during his 13 years in prison.
The 37-year-old, who was found not guilty of killing five of his family in a re-trial last month, was also beaten up by other prisoners but, instead of retaliating, he would give them a "bear hug" and try to march them out of his cell.
These and more intimate details of Bain's time behind bars, along with details about his new-found freedom, are covered in this week's issue of women's magazine New Idea.
The magazine has not revealed how much it paid for the exclusive article, which is the first time Bain has spoken at length about his experiences.
The only comment we have on this is that it is interesting that Bain got the bash while in prison. Contrast this with the lack of violence against Peter Ellis during his imprisonment, despite Ellis having been convicted (absolutely wrongly, we believe) of sex crimes against young children. We can only conclude that Bain's fellow inmates did not believe his protestations of innocence, a view that we share.

Shouldn't New Idea make the cheque out to the Legal Aid Authorities as his first installment on the cost of his defence.
And I also see in Stuff that they've finally got round to naming the Olympian on the juice.
Bloody MSM; always taking their time.
Very good point baxter - we taxpayers have shelled out a helluva lot of dosh on Bain's behalf over the last 15 years. It's payback time David.
Liza Hunter-Galvan eh LB. I always felt there was something about her that wasn't quite right - she's a serial litigator too. Perhaps she'll sell her story to New Idea as well!!
Did Ellis spend most of his time in protection? That would make a difference in the level of violence experienced.
