Oscar Pistorius is 'coping' with his new life behind bars and managed to get some sleep during his first night in his solitary cell, according to a prison official who visited him today. The 27-year-old convicted killer was dressed in an orange prison-issue jumpsuit and seemed to be coping 'so far so good' when he was seen by Ofentse Morwane from the correctional services department. The Paralympic gold medallist  is undergoing a 36-hour 'comprehensive needs assessment' and orientation programme to inform him of the strict rules and regulations as a 'B' group inmate at the Kgosi Mampuru prison.
