Overview
- Jade Morris, 27, pleaded guilty Wednesday at Birmingham Crown Court to misconduct in public office and to encouraging inmate Jerome Nunes to use a banned phone.
- Jerome Nunes, 35, had already pleaded guilty on 10 February 2026 at Birmingham Magistrates' Court to possessing and using an unauthorised mobile phone under the Prison Act 1952.
- The relationship came to light in October 2022 after officers recovered a phone that had been thrown from a prison window.
- Records showed steady contact between Morris and Nunes from July 2022 to January 2023, pointing to a months-long breach of professional boundaries.
- The Crown Prosecution Service said work with police built a case that led to both pleas, and both defendants now await sentencing at dates yet to be set.
