Prisoner gets 18 months for scalding inmate

A prisoner has been jailed for another 18 months after throwing boiling water from a kettle over a fellow inmate.

Samuel Boland scalded Francis Miller as he ate lunch in Low Moss prison, near Bishopbriggs, East Dunbartonshire.

Miller, 23, confronted his attacker before being taken to Glasgow Royal Infirmary, where he was kept in for five days.

Boland, 49, admitted assaulting Miller on 19 July last year.

Glasgow Sheriff Court heard Miller suffered burns on his face, shoulder and chest.
