A female prison officer has been sentenced to four years in prison after smuggling over £100,000 worth of drugs and phones into HMP Forest Bank. Farrah Jones, 28, was caught in the act by colleagues who found two plastic-wrapped packages in a toilet bin. The packages contained yellow and white tablets, as well as cannabis resin.

Jones, a prison custody officer working for Geoamey, was observed entering a toilet at the prison reception on November 30 of last year. The packages were discovered during a search prompted by her suspicious behavior. The court heard that a trustee prisoner asked to use the same toilet, suggesting he might have been the intended recipient for smuggling the drugs into the prison wings.
