A thug inmate who threatened to rape a female prison officer – and her mother and daughter – had his prison sentence extended.
Liam Jones, 23, flew into a rage at HMP Grampian in Peterhead, Scotland, when he was asked to pack his belongings and move to a different cell.
He subjected the officer to a "sustained period" of "vile" comments and threats, a court heard.

He also boiled a kettle and threatened to scald anyone who tried to enter his cell - and said he would rape the female prison officer, her mother and her daughter.
Jones, formerly from Brainerd Street, Stoneycroft, said he would be released soon and would wait outside for her and blow up her car before trashing his cell and causing hundreds of pounds worth of damage.
In court, he claimed the prison officer had a problem with him being from Liverpool, but was jailed after admitting his "appalling" behaviour.
Prosecutor Brian Young told Aberdeen Sheriff Court the prison officer attended at Jones' cell around 7.30am on February 9 last year and told him he had been chosen to move to a different area of the jail.
She handed him bags and left him to pack his belongings. However, when she returned an hour later Jones had not packed anything and said: "I'm not going anywhere."
When the officer again ordered him to pack, Jones taunted: "You'll need a team to move me."
He added: "I'll burst the first screw that comes through this door."
A short time later, Jones activated his emergency intercom, in response to which the prison officer looked through the cell door's observation hatch to see him "standing near to the cell door holding a steaming kettle".
Jones shouted: "The first one of you through the door is getting scalded."
As she walked away Jones shouted after her: "One of your cars are getting blown up."
Due to the kettle threat, the power was switched off in Jones' cell.
During the morning, Jones continued to taunt the woman, saying: "As soon as you open this door you are getting scalded you dirty little s***."
He also spat towards the door each time she walked past and shouted to other prisoners in the section to do the same.
Jones "relentlessly and aggressively" made threats to the woman throughout the day.
He told her: "I'm out on Tuesday, I will be in the car park with my friends and your car is getting blown up!"
Other taunts included "I will shoot you", "you need raped you silly cow" and "I will smash your face in".
He stated he would kill her, as well as rape her, her mother and her daughter, and petrol bomb every vehicle in the prison car park.
Jones also smashed the windows in his cell and damaged various items, causing £888 of repairs.
At around 5pm, a "restraints team of prison officers wearing full personal protective equipment" entered the cell and, when Jones refused to comply, restrained him and moved him to a segregation unit.
Jones, now a prisoner of HMP Perth, pled guilty to behaving in a threatening or abusive manner.
Bruce MacDonald, defending, said there was "no excuse" for his client's behaviour, adding: "Everyone, including prison officers, has got the right to go about their business without having to face this behaviour.
"It's unacceptable and he does offer an apology."
Sheriff William Summers interjected and asked if Jones had apologised to the prison officer herself.
Mr MacDonald said he had not, and the sheriff suggested the apology in the courtroom meant little as a result.
The solicitor said Jones regretted his actions, and Sheriff Summers said: "Of course he's regretful now he's got to face the consequences of it, but he has not apologised."
Jones is currently serving a three-year jail term for his role in an organised crime gang selling drugs in Aberdeen, and Mr MacDonald asked for any jail sentence over the prison incident to be made concurrent to that one.
Sheriff Summers ordered Jones to be jailed for a further nine months on top of his current sentence.
