The offender pleaded guilty to assault causing bodily harm for his role in a vicious, gang-style attack on a fellow inmate at a correctional facility.
The victim suffered a brain bleed and lingering effects.
The Crown sought 18-24 months in custody, while the defence sought 12 months.
The court considered the principles of denunciation, deterrence, and parity, noting a co-accused received 6 months for simple assault.
The offender was sentenced to 15 months in custody (net 198 days after pre-sentence credit) followed by two years of probation.
