Prison officer Rio Moran, James Millington and Callum Reilly were part of a conspiracy to supply drugs and illicit items into a number of prisons, including HMP Doncaster, and launder the ill-gotten cash. South Yorkshire Police’s Prison Anti-Corruption Unit arrested Moran as she arrived for work in November 2020. A substantial amount of drugs and phones were found following a search at her home address. While officers were searching her home, Callum Reilly turned up and tried to post further contraband through the front door. This contraband was bound for HMP Doncaster.
HMP Doncaster inmate James Millington was later identified as being the recipient of the items, and he was also arrested. His partner, Claire Anderson, was found to have assisted the conspiracy and was subsequently detained at her home in Stockport, Greater Manchester, with drugs and phones at her property suspected to be bound for prison. Detective Constable Scott Jarvis, from SYP’s Prison Anti-Corruption Unit, said: “Our prisons are staffed predominantly with hard-working officers who go about their business professionally despite the risks to themselves and colleagues on a daily basis. “For the majority of staff, their number one aim is the safeguarding of inmates and colleagues, and to support the rehabilitation of those inmates.
