Amy Hatfield was employed at HMP Lindholme in South Yorkshire as a mental health nursing assistant.
A mental health nurse working in a prison helped flood a prison with contraband as part of the largest prison smuggling ring ever uncovered in the UK.
On Friday Judge Kirstie Watson handed down sentences totalling almost 90 years for 16 defendants. The 17th defendant, William Francis, will be sentenced at a later date. Judge Watson said he "exploited" Hatfield's feelings for him and arranged for drugs and other banned items to be delivered to her. Judge Watson told Hatfield the relationship was "a significant breach of trust" and outlined how she "abused your position to convey prohibited items" into the prison "for financial gain".
"It must have been clear to you the impact that increased drug use was having, and yet you continued to flood HMP Lindholme with drugs and phones. You even brought in a knife," the judge said. The court heard that in September 2019 an inmate died after taking spice, which toxicology tests found matched a batch of the drug recovered from Hatfield upon her arrest.
