Overview
- Kelly Duffey was jailed for 12 months on Friday at Winchester Crown Court after admitting two counts of misconduct in public office.
- Prisoner Ashley Goodridge received a concurrent 12-month term for possessing and using an illicit phone inside the Category C jail.
- Evidence from Duffey’s phone showed a sexual relationship took place in the prison and that the pair used an illegal handset to exchange messages, images, and videos.
- The misconduct, which unfolded between May and September 2024, involved secret contact with Goodridge and Duffey’s failure to report another staff–prisoner relationship.
- A family member’s complaint triggered the investigation, Duffey was barred from all prison sites and resigned, and SWROCU and the CPS pledged continued counter‑corruption action.
