An ACT prisoner suffered in silence for a night with second-degree burns to about 30 per cent of his body after he was kicked in the head and doused with boiling water in what inmates call a "jugging".
Having initially complied with threats to stay quiet, the badly blistered victim sought assistance and assailant Norman Collier, 28, was charged with recklessly inflicting grievous bodily harm.
Collier, who pleaded guilty last November, was sentenced in the ACT Supreme Court on Monday to another three years behind bars.
