Bongo Williams, 46, from Kensal Green Road in Maidenhead, worked as a chef at the Bisley prison when he was stopped by security staff in a routine search on 4 June last year.
They search a large blue holdall Williams was carrying and found a carrier bag containing three bags of white powder wrapped inside Williams’ beanie hat. Police were informed and he was arrested.
The drugs were found to be a synthetic canabinoid, with a street value of around £650, but were worth even more in prison, with a value of anywhere between £2,500 and £6,500.
Officers also carried out a search at Williams’ home address and found two quantities of cash amounting to £2,000.
As well as the prison sentence, Williams was also ordered to forfeit £2,000 cash under Section 27 of the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971.
