A prisoner has had his sentence extended after he squirted urine at two prison officers.
Kyle Binns was jailed for a year in April 2021, following a 'shocking' and 'unprovoked' attack and while serving time at Hindley Prison, in Wigan, the 19-year-old was placed in segregation.
At the time, Katie Jones and Adam Chesney both worked as prison officers in that unit, prosecution barrister Jack Troup told Bolton Crown Court. Ms Jones had previously put Binns on 'report' and while doing the rounds on July 31 2021, Binns told her: "Watch what happens. I'm not a little muppet. I'll get things done."

Later that day, around 7pm, Ms Jones and Mr Chesney visited the prisoners' cells to offer them water before they locked up for the evening. When they opened the observation panel of Binns' cell, he reached his hand through and squeezed a shower gel bottle filled with urine over Ms Jones and Mr Chesney.
Binns, who already has 23 convictions for 58 offences, pleaded guilty to two counts of administering a poison or noxious substance with intent.
Defending Binns, Davind Livingstone Bruce admitted that it was a "serious matter" with a "degree of preparation". In mitigation, he referenced Binns' young age and a support network of his mum, brother and sister, who he still lives with.
Sentencing Binns, of no fixed abode, the Honorary Recorder of Bolton Judge Martin Walsh said: "They were just doing their job and this was a foul and odious attack upon them."
Walsh sentenced Binns to nine months imprisonment in a young offender institution. The sentence will start after the eight month sentence that he is currently serving for breaching a court order.
