A prison officer has been attacked with boiling hot water in a high security jail in the latest outrage blighting prison safety.
The officer was scalded with liquid straight from a kettle after he entered an inmate's cell at HMP Whitemoor in Cambridgeshire.
Another was left with a broken jaw and bleeding on the brain following an assault in a workshop in a second violent attack just this week at the prison, which houses some of the country's worst criminals, The Telegraph reports.
Both are currently in hospital receiving treatment.
The attacks follow a string of other assaults involving prisoners in recent weeks, including Manchester Arena terrorist Hashem Abedi.
