The ex-Bandidos enforcer was just weeks from completing a 20-month term for drug and weapon offences when the additional term was imposed.
Fairfax Media is blocked by a suppression order from reporting on the circumstances that will force Mitchell to extend his stint at the medium-security Fulham Correctional Centre.
The 42-year-old had been expecting to walk free on May 27 amid plans by friends and associates to gift him with a luxury car on his release.
He now will be incarcerated until at least late November.
Mitchell had been sentenced in June 2016 over the seizure of 331 grams of methamphetamine and 168 grams of cocaine found in his Range Rover Evoque, along with a baton classed as a prohibited weapon.
The stash was uncovered during an Australian Federal Police investigation into a MDMA-smuggling operation allegedly linked to some of Mitchell's associates, including a powerful organised crime figure, who also cannot be named for legal reasons.
But Mitchell caught a break when the AFP downgraded the charges from drug trafficking to drug possession after accepting his claim that he was unaware how much methamphetamine and cocaine was in the hire car.
During his trial last year, it was revealed that Mitchell had spent most of his time on remand in lock down and unable to leave his cell for his own protection.
The court was told he also requires hormone replacement therapy, stem cell treatment and plasma therapy for various physical conditions resulting from being shot in two separate incidents.
In November 2011, Mitchell was shot six times in the back and hip at Doherty's Gym in Brunswick, losing most of his liver, one kidney and his gall bladder in the attack.
The former Bandidos sergeant-at-arms survived another shooting in 2013, when he and an associate walked into the clubhouse of a rival bikie club.
Mitchell was arrested amid a flurry of media interest in September 2015 as the Federal Police investigated an international drugs syndicate smuggling MDMA into Australia.
At the time, an AFP spokesman said the National Anti-Gang Squad, the Australian Border Force, and Victoria Police's anti-gang Echo Taskforce were involved in the operation.
Mitchell - who had been under AFP surveillance before his arrest - was initially charged with trafficking, pleading guilty to possessing a traffickable quantity of drugs in March.
Mitchell was found with 331.8 grams of methamphetamine, which had a "pure weight" of 259.4 grams, and 168.2 grams of cocaine, which had a "pure weight" of 127.4 grams.
The court was told that while the methamphetamine was a commercial quantity, the Federal Police accepted Mitchell's explanation that he simply didn't know how much was in his hire car.
In September 2015, Mitchell was also charged with conduct endangering persons, driving in a dangerous manner, and intentionally and recklessly causing injury over an alleged attack on a cyclist in the Docklands.
At the time, Mitchell admitted on social media to bashing a "weak dog cyclist".
"After I get told through my passenger window that I am a tuff c*** in the car by a weak dog cyclist I get out and I said I am out of the car and I am still a tuff c**t lets see how tough he is. 1 bitch slap and KO lights out," Mitchell posted on his Instagram account.
