		</div><p>Russell Brand is donating a not-for-profit cafe he opened last year to a charity which supports ex-prisoners and people struggling with addiction.</p>
<p>The comedian joked that he hoped the move might secure him a “cushy job in the library” if he ever ended up in jail.</p>
<p>The Rehabilitation for Addicted Prisoners Trust, known as RAPt, described the donation as a “wonderful opportunity” for them to boost their work.</p>
<p>Russell, who is patron of the charity, launched the Trew Era Cafe on the New Era estate in Hoxton, east London, more than a year ago, hailing it as a “fully self-supporting, new economic enterprise”.</p>
<p>The cafe, which fuses the estate’s name with that of Russell’s YouTube show, The Trews, will become one of RAPt’s so-called recovery enterprises, which are staffed and managed by recovering addicts.</p>
<p>David Bernstein, RAPt chairman of trustees, said: “This is a wonderful opportunity for RAPt to further strengthen our employment and enterprise activities for ex-offenders and recovering addicts.</p>
<p>“We’re enormously grateful to Russell for his generosity in donating the cafe.”</p>
<p>Russell said: “I’m donating this cafe to RAPt – a great charity that helps prisoners stay clean. If I ever get sent down I hope this’ll mean I get a cushy job in the library.”</p>
