A prisoner has been sentenced to six months in jail after racially abusing a prison officer in a ‘barbaric’ tirade.
William Robinson, 29, who is currently serving 83 months for robbery, was sentenced to a further six months consecutively at Manchester Crown Court after he called a prison officer the n-word and threatened to kill him in a 20 minute tirade of abuse.
In April 2020, Mr Robinson was caught on bodycam footage at HMP Forest Bank, calling the officer the n-word and 'black c***' while also threatening the officer’s son. He pleaded not guilty but was convicted of racially or religiously aggravated disorderly behaviour with intent to cause harassment, alarm or distress, on July 29.
