Drug-dealing thug Graham Lindo locked the door and pulled out a homemade weapon fashioned from a toothbrush and razor blade.
The 27-year-old, from Stockton, in Teesside, then threatened to cut man’s throat before raping him.
After pleading guilty to rape, he was jailed for six years and ordered to sign the sex offenders’ register for life, reports the Gazette.
Recorder Bernard Gateshill, at Newcastle Crown Court, told him: “You chose to threaten and terrorise a fellow prisoner.
“This must have been a terrifying experience for him.
“He was a vulnerable victim at the time and he now feels more vulnerable and less confident. He has been greatly upset by your attack upon him.
“The pre-sentence report on you suggests you are a dangerous offender and you pose a serious risk to others of harm by offences of a sexual and violent nature.”
The court heard the victim had been to the showers at HMP Northumberland in March, when he walked past Lindo’s cell.
Jonathan Devlin, prosecuting, said: “The defendant asked him to enter his cell and he did so and sat down on his bed.
“The defendant took up a position with his back to the door, which he then locked from the inside and took from his pocket a toothbrush with a razor blade melted into the handle.”
Lindo then told the victim if he didn’t do what he wanted he would “cut your throat” and threatened to stab him.
The man was then raped while Lindo continued to hold the blade in his hand.
The victim said of his ordeal: “What Lindo has done to me has really made me feel vulnerable and lose confidence.
“It greatly upset me and I sometimes can’t sleep.”
When Lindo was interviewed about the attack, he said he couldn’t remember anything because he was “off his head on spice”.
