Aaron Hudson had listed a litany of grievances against the prison, alleging a link between his far right views and membership of a bikie gang, and his treatment at the jail.
Many alleged wrongs followed the involvement of Hudson, who was serving time for threatening to put a bullet in his ex-girlfriend's new boyfriend's head and shoot their dog, in prison fights.
After one, the Nomads gang member asked the jail why he had been charged and isolated from other prisoners for his role in the scuffle.
He alleged they told him: "GM does not want Nazis in her jail and has the right to extend segregation orders for the security and safety of the centre."
When he found out he would be kept separate from other prisoners for the foreseeable future he was allegedly told "...if we want to act like Nazis we will be treated like Nazis."
The 28-year-old also accused ACT Corrective Services of provoking an "already tense situation" and "having a laugh" by scheduling his visitors at the same time as enemy gang visitors.
The one-time president of the ACT chapter of the far-right Patriots Defence League said he warned the prison about the danger of having rivals come to visit at the same time.

But he alleged he was told "Oh well if something happens we will deal with it then and I guess you will then have some friends in here."
He said the prison refused to make non-association orders, and also withheld access to doctors and nurses for his mental health and an injured shoulder.
The inmate alleged he didn't get his vegetarian meal for four weeks in a row.
In a decision published earlier this year, the ACT government had the ACT Civil and Administrative Tribunal strike out many of Hudson's criticisms because they were about prison security.
Presidential member Heidi Robinson said the self-proclaimed national socialist had offered "little evidence" in support of his claims.
She gave the prisoner "the benefit of the doubt" and the chance to prove the remaining allegations, including about the meat-free meals.
But Hudson, who has since been released, failed to turn up to the hearing last month and the case was dismissed.
A non-publication order was also lifted at the hearing.
