A murderer who is serving a minimum prison term of 30 years at HMP Frankland slashed a fellow prisoner in the face with a craft knife.
Jamie Davison was sentenced to life in prison in July last year for murdering a man in Carlisle, and has been serving his sentence at the category A men's prison in Brasside, County Durham. But less than a year into his sentence on April 11 this year, the 28-year-old carried out a gruesome slashing attack on a fellow prisoner, causing a "gaping wound".
Davison appeared at Durham Crown Court via link from the prison to be sentenced for section 18 wounding with intent. He had pleaded guilty to the charge.
