Michael Douglas' son brutally beaten in prison for being a 'rat'

Being an Oscar-winning actor's offspring might net you privileges in the outside world, but it won't protect you in prison. Michael Douglas' 34-year-old son, Cameron, serving time for dealing drugs, found that out in the most brutal way. Cameron's leg and finger were broken in a behind-bars beat-down after an organized-crime honcho put a bounty on him for ratting out his drug suppliers for a lighter sentence. "He broke his femur, which is hard to snap, and had to have a rod inserted," a source told the New York Post. "He told health services staff that he hurt them playing handball. You don't break a femur playing handball." Adding insult to injury: The bounty was reportedly only $100. [Source]
