An inmate whose secret home brew supply contributed to a prison riot, which caused $10 million in damage, has been jailed for more than two years.
Joseph Mackle will have the term added to a stint of five years and four months behind bars, to which he was sentenced in January 2012 on a range of charges.
The Spring Hill prison riot took place in June last year while Mackle was a prisoner in Unit 16B, which housed two pods of 45 men.
While the prisoners were out having morning exercise, Corrections officers swooped on the offender's cell where they found a concealed home brew supply.
Prisoners have been known to make rudimentary home brew from a combination of fruit, sugar, water and hand sanitiser.
