HMP Nottingham was put into special measures in 2018 after a report warned the Government the jail was in a “dangerous state”.
In 2014 a guard at the Category B male prison had his ear bitten off by an inmate on a drug come-down.
A source said at the time: “It was a senior officer, and he had his ear bitten off by a foreign national from Africa. His earlobe and that area. I’m not sure what the prisoner is in for.
“The officer went into his cell and he just attacked him, grabbed him and bit his ear off.”
