Rapist Nicholas Rossi has been thrown into a riot-torn US jail where brutal gangs battle each other for supremacy.
The 38-year-old, who fled to Scotland after faking his own death, looks much older in a mugshot released by prison bosses after he was placed in custody.
He is now locked up for at least five years in the Central Utah Correctional Facility Gunnison after a sentencing hearing earlier this week.
Rossi is also due to be sentenced next month for a further rape charge.
In March three inmates at the jail were charged with attempted murder and accused of attacking another prisoner.
A recent riot at the prison also saw 15 weapon-wielding inmates clash in a brutal turf battle which left five in hospital.

County District Attorney Sim Gill, who prosecuted Rossi, said: ‘While justice may have been slow, the defendant was convicted and now sentenced to prison, consistent with the harm he caused to our survivor.
‘She can rest assured he did not escape punishment.’
Utah has been dealing with a spate of assaults, including attacks on officers, within its prison walls.
There are approximately 1,750 men incarcerated in the Gunnison facility.
The prison in Salt Lake City is home to about 2,200 male inmates, and 400 women.
Fugitive Rossi was using the alias Arthur Knight when he traced while a Covid patient at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow in 2021.
He was arrested for a rape in Utah and extradited in January last year despite his claims of mistaken identity.
