RCMP have charged two Nova Scotia men with a serious assault against an inmate at the Maritimes only maximum security prison, the Atlantic Institution in Renous, N.B.
James Bernard Melvin, 38, and Morgan James McNeil, 29, are each facing two charges of aggravated assault for an incident on Sept. 26.
Details of the incident have already been revealed as part of sentencing arguments against Melvin, a notorious crime figure in the Halifax area.
The Crown is trying to have Melvin declared a dangerous offender following his conviction on charges of attempted murder and conspiracy to commit murder related to an attempt on the life of Terry Marriott Jr. in 2008.
