Craig Noman, now 62, was subjected to a former prison guard's abuse as a 15-year-old in 1978.
A man who said he was abused by a "sadistic" prison officer is "gutted" he missed the chance to face his attacker in court.
Devaney, 81, was sentenced to three-and-a-half years in prison at Bristol Crown Court after being found guilty of misconduct in public office. At his trial, 22 former detainees gave evidence about the "evil" physical abuse he subjected them to. "I caught one on my hands and knees and stood up to give it to him, but the rabbit got out of my hands. He punched me in the stomach a few times, called me a stupid boy and gave me a clip across the head just for dropping a rabbit.
But the court during Devaney's trial heard his behaviour went far beyond what was "appropriate or acceptable".Involved with a gang in Cardiff from a young age, Mr Noman was in and out of prison more than a dozen times throughout the 80s and 90s - receiving his last conviction in 2000.
