CALGARY- The HBO series “Game of Thrones” was quoted during the sentencing of a convict who helped another inmate beat two jail guards in an unprovoked assault at the Calgary Correctional Centre last year.
Judge Harry Van Harten noted in his written decision that the Jamie Lannister character said the words “good prisoners breed good jailers” before murdering a guard in an episode of the popular TV show.
Van Harten handed down a two-year sentence to Desi Brown, who pleaded guilty to the assault.
Court heard Brown helped another inmate ambush a guard and then drag him inside their cell, where another guard who tried to help his colleague was beaten with handcuffs.
