Prison drama at HMP Manchester! Amie Turner, a 34-year-old prison officer, has been sentenced to 15 months in jail after it was uncovered that she had an inappropriate relationship with an inmate and was sneaking contraband into the facility. The scandal came to light back in April 2016, when suspicious activity drew attention to her behaviour.
In a collaborative investigation led by the North West Regional Organised Crime Unit and the HMPPS Counter Corruption Unit, evidence showed Turner used multiple mobile phones to communicate, including one reportedly inside the prison itself. Phone record analysis sealed her fate, confirming contacts to a device within HMP Manchester.
Detective Inspector Brian Morley highlighted the gravity of corruption in prisons and vowed continued efforts to uphold their integrity. “This case underlines the serious consequences for those who step out of line. Our mission is to support honest staff and crackdown on dangerous practices,” he stated, urging whistle-blowers to come forward with any more intel that could help clean up the system.
This event serves as a reminder of the challenging dynamics within our prisons and reaffirms a commitment to tackle misconduct wherever it may lurk. 🏛️🔒 #PrisonNews #JusticeServed #IntegrityMatters
