A teenaged prisoner has been sentenced to seven years prison for his part in a violent attack on two Corrections officers in Hawke's Bay Prison.

Vaipapa and another inmate set upon two officers in the youth wing with a steel teapot, a jug of boiling water, the leg of a steel table, as well as their own fists, before setting prison property on fire.
