A jailhouse volleyball match in Canberra turned violent when an inmate bit off another prisoner’s ear, earning him extra time behind bars. Benjamin John Wickes, 33, pleaded guilty in the ACT Supreme Court to causing grievous bodily harm and choking his fellow inmate after the volleyball game ended. Camera Icon Benjamin John Wickes, 33, will spend more time behind bars after he bit off another inmates ear during a prison volleyball match at the Alexander Maconochie Centre in Canberra. “(Wickes) bit down on the victim’s ear with sufficient force to bite off a chunk of it … then spat out the part of victim’s ear that he had bitten off,” Justice Verity McWilliam said. The court was told Wickes had a disadvantaged upbringing and deserved support to overcome his challenges, but had showed no remorse towards his victim after the attack.
