A prisoner has been given additional jail time for having a ‘shiv’ and illegal phones behind bars.

Amir Mostofi, 31, was also caught with man-made cannabis drug ‘spice’ in HMP Bullingdon.

On Friday, Judge Michael Gledhill QC sentenced the defendant, who is now serving at HMP Wandsworth in London, to 22 months’ imprisonment.

Mostofi, of Hamond Close, Croydon, pleaded guilty at an earlier hearing to possession of a class B drug and possession of unauthorised items in prison.

He was caught with the ‘shiv’ – a makeshift weapon made from blades attached to a plastic handle – at HMP Bullingdon ‘on or before’ May 7, 2020.

The defendant appeared before Oxford Crown Court via video link from HMP Wandsworth.
