He was sentenced to two-and-a-half years in jail, with a parole release date set for May 15.
Manhire's guilty plea and that he had been in custody since August 17 was taken into account.
Judge Gregory Koppenol said Manhire had a "history of violent, unprovoked gratuitous attacks on people".
Defence barrister Geoffrey Seaholme said Manhire had taken an anger management course in prison and had been off drugs for 12 months.
This man will serve 9/30 months. If he had served his actual time for his pervious crimes, I wonder if he would have been out of jail yet?

put an exploding collar rounds his neck. your assumptions of increased prison time being a deterrent posted in other posts have been shown to be erroneous.
Well, I think my point may be made here.
It doesn't sound like he ever completed any of his sentences, including the one he is currently charged with. They already have him serving less than 33%.
When they actually do their time, for their crime..and not have their time served in "boys club" type of prison..then see how the recidivism rate is.
Yeah. Because prison is such an easy life

most prisoners in australia serve 1/3 of their sentence.
you generally get a third off for "good behaviour" and the other third as parole.
Doesn't change the fact that prisons could be self sufficent, and not be a drain to the taxpayers.
Are you still going on about this?
Firstly, it's not a fact, it's your opinion. An opinion that says that prisons can be self sufficient if they loan out prisoners to pick mangoes.
NSW prisons alone cost about $500 million a year to run. There are about 10,000 prisoners at any one time. This is $50,000 each.
Which fruit growers are going to pay the NSW govt $50,000 to employ prison fruit pickers, when they can pay tourists $10 bucks an hour?
Sorry Kathryn, your numbers don't add up.
Certainly can't be too bad.
Some people will not change no matter what you do.
It is always everyone else's fault they are this way...abuse while growing up, being poor,drug/ alcohol addiction, "wired" wrong, low IQ, etc.
Did a quick google a while ago, and it seems 60-70% of the prison population are return guests. If this is the case..why let them out in the first place.

Wow.. you're finding this information out now for the first time ?
It's nothing new Kathryn, it's just that a lot of people acutally know this stuff already, hence we aren't reacting to it the frsist time as you seem to be...
Who said "my numbers" need to add up. Even if a prison was 50% self sufficient it is better than 0%.
I guess what a person believes in their personal life, continues on with other aspects. I believe in running a business at a profit. I do not believe in giving our tenants rent free accommodation.
If it makes you feel better they could house all the "I'm sorry" prisoners in one, rapists/pedophiles in another, blue collar crimes in another,nonviolent and violent etc.
I actually think this would be a good idea to stop "light" offenders being placed with the really bad eggs.
And if they want to let paedophiles back out on the streets, let 'em live next to the judge who thinks it is time for them to be released. Or maybe they can move in next door to the civil libertarians who think they can be rehabilitated!
