Once in prison, a person's offence is not the most important thing about them. Offences are not necessarily even discussed: if inmates don't talk about what they're in for, nobody need know, unless they are especially notorious and have been splashed across the news.
So Sutcliffe's injury is unlikely to be an act of private revenge on behalf of an appalled society against a hideous murderer. The toast scenario is much more likely.
Quite possibly, I realise this is off topic, but having spent some time in prison in my younger days i can confirm that fights do break out over the last bit of toast or over real or imagined slights which would be ignored outside. Prison fights are invariably horrible and contain very high levels of brutal violence. You can't have the same fight over and over again with someone you may see every day for years, so the idea is to "impress" upon them with the maximum of violence and brutality. It really ain't nice or easy.
