Mazhar Majeed earns £9.50 a week for a cleaning job he has secured at Ford open prison, West Sussex, The Sun has reported.
Majeed, 36, was the agent of three Pakistani cricketers in the spot-fixing case during the August 2010 Lord’s Test match.
According to the report, he has his own cell with Freeview TV. A source in the report said: "He's over the moon. He could have been given harder jobs."
In November 2011, London Judge Jeremy Cooke sentenced Salman Butt to 30 months, Muhammad Asif one year, and their agent Majeed two years and eight months for spot-fixing. Muhammad Amir was sentenced to six months in a young offenders’ institute.

Nine pounds fifty sounds a lot of money, but it would barely buy a McDonalds hamburger meal in London.
@Salman: I pity on you, too, Salman.
Serve him right. Though there should have been an extraordinarily heavy fine on him too.
He's earning way more than the average Pakistani. It's an absolute disgrace.
@Salman: i feel pity on u really
He is getting paid more than me? Damn, LOL
Atleast he's earning honestly now while pak cricket still fixing games and won test series
It is time to get off from them..enough of nonsense! We have been digesting since this trial began and now when they are behind bars, why go after them?? Media has really lost ethics in Pakistan. This is really painful for the families of the concerns.
He's still got his millions to come back to .. not a bad deal all considered to be honest. Was at his 'Afters' ice-cream parlour in Tooting yesterday, business ain't doing bad there either! .. win for Mazhar Majeed and fail for justice I have to say.
Example ? well not to start another debate here but I can bet 80% of Pakistanis (Indian/Bangladeshi/Sri Lankans too) would like to trade places with him right now !!!!
ha ha ha... an example set for all wrong doers
