Three female guards from same prison jailed for having affairs with inmates
Jennifer Gavan, 27, Ayshea Gunn, 27, and Emily Watson, 26, were all sentenced within the last three years.
The affairs all took place in Britain’s largest prison, HMP Berwyn in Wrexham, North Wales, which houses Category C male offenders.
Remaining staff are now receiving training in a bid to tackle any illegal relationships in the prison.
Gavan was jailed for eight months in December after smuggling a mobile phone for her lover Alex Coxon, 25, so she could send photos of herself to him via Snapchat.
She was also caught kissing him during the relationship that went on from April to July 2020.
The officer pleaded guilty to misconduct in public office after she accepted £150 to bring in the phone.
In 2019, Gunn was jailed for one year after having a fling with ‘dangerous’ inmate Khuram Razaq, 29.
