A jail detainee who had threatened to blow a woman's "brains out" with a gun consumed "prison brew" before going on a near-six-hour long "destructive rampage" that left a $4.6 million repair bill, a court has heard.
Garang Dau Deng, 23, was sentenced by the ACT Supreme Court last week to seven years and three months jail after pleading guilty to arson, aggravated robbery and property damage.
The court heard that on May 12 last year, when Deng was in custody at the Alexander Maconochie Centre, he and other detainees were intoxicated after consuming what he described as "prison brew".
