Extinguisher, rather than hydrant. And he's been sentenced today -
2yr8mo for "violent disorder".

Presumably he won't now have to worry about a university eductaion, fees
or no fees.

Why? AFAIK, there's no general bar on ex-criminals studying at
university, although there might be for specific courses (Law, perhaps).

While it might stop you being a laywer(?), would it stop you studying law?

Some long-term prisoners have gained degrees while in prison (via the
Open University etc). A 2-year 8-month sentence is too short for that,
though.

Presumably he wouldn't need the full three years, as he won't be
spending vacations working or inter-railing!
