Overview
- The officer, 27, and inmate Jabhari Blair, 30, were remanded at Sheffield Crown Court pending sentence on Monday.
- Winstanley admitted misconduct in public office and sending a photo from inside prison, while Blair admitted possessing cannabis and banned items including a phone and a USB stick.
- Prosecutors cited messages in which she wrote "I'm literally praying to have your babies" and CCTV showing her taking Blair into locked offices for brief periods.
- The court heard she followed Blair’s directions to obtain SIM and SD cards and shared confidential details on prisoner movements, healthcare and transfer plans, and she met his mother outside prison.
- The relationship began in August 2022 on J Wing and continued after her suspension through registered visits; the judge said it was the worst case he had seen, and the misconduct charge carries a maximum 10-year term.
