Pregnant woman jailed for smuggling cannabis into Walton prison

A PREGNANT woman who smuggled just a gram of cannabis into prison for her inmate partner has been put behind bars.

Mum-to-be Lisa Williams, 36, was spotted acting suspiciously as she visited her long-term boyfriend Anthony Smith in Walton jail.

Smith was seen taking an item and trying to hide it in his trousers.

It was later recovered and found to be just over a gram of cannabis - a class C drug at the time.

But the Recorder of Liverpool, Judge Henry Globe QC told Williams, who is expecting their child in December, that there could be no exceptions, despite the small amount.

Jailing her for four months, he said: “I'm afraid the message just has to go out to those who succumb to pressure to take drugs into prison, even cannabis and even in small quantities, that if they do so they will lose their liberty.

“You knew exactly what you were doing.

“You made your choice.”

Liverpool mobile phone smuggler jailed

A FORMER nursing home assistant who sneaked two mobile phones into a prison was herself put behind bars.

Chantelle Collins, 22, sobbed in the dock as she was jailed for 10 months for taking the prohibited items into Walton jail.

Helen Morris, prosecuting, told Liverpool crown court Collins was caught on CCTV handing the phones over to the prisoner on February 10.

Neil Cobley, defending, said Collins had agreed to deliver the phones to pay £200 off a drug debt.

He told how Collins became addicted to drugs after mixing with the wrong crowd and was desperate to return the money.

The night before, she had been in hospital suffering with gallstones and was on prescribed morphine, but felt she had “no choice” other than to take the items to the unknown man.
