A prisoner suffered a bleed to the brain and a stroke after being beaten unconscious by a fellow convict at Wakefield prison

Mark Millen, who is serving a 16-year sentence, attacked the lag in the communal area of the Love Lane prison’s C-wing without provocation. Leeds Crown Court heard how the victim had been walking on his own when Millen stepped out and punched him to the face.

The moment from December 28, 2021, was captured on CCTV and showed the man fall to the ground unconscious, before Millen kicked him to the head. Hen then walked away shouting: “I have just had a enough.”

The man suffered multiple fractures to his nose and a bleed to his brain. He has since suffered seven strokes, the first of which can be at least linked to the attack, prosecutor Andrew Petterson told the court.

Millen attacked his fellow inmate at HMP Wakefield.
