A 17-year-old who scalded a long-serving officer at a young offender institution has received an additional detention and training sentence after admitting actual bodily harm.
A 27-year-old admitted assaulting an emergency worker and six counts of administering a noxious substance after a series of attacks on staff at HMP Featherstone.
A man already serving a 15-year sentence threw boiling water into an officer’s face and then hit him with the kettle, leaving him with burns to his face and eye.
The Independent Monitoring Board at HMP Norwich says not every assault on staff leads to further action, while police pursue most attacks on their own officers.
