On having his cell door opened, Gardner punched one staff member and caught another with a swinging arm while the other officers tried to control him.

Gardner then struck another of the staff members on the neck with an implement twice before being handcuffed and restrained.

Investigating officer Detective Constable Joseph Stevenson, said: “Offences against prison staff will never be tolerated and will be treated very seriously. This conviction and sentence reflects this, and Gardner will now have to serve more time in prison as a result of his actions.”
