Churchley, of Monkswood Gardens in Borehamwood, appeared at Cambridge Crown Court yesterday (Thursday, May 24) after previously pleading guilty to conveying a prohibited article into a prison. She was jailed for 16 weeks.

Detective Constable Paul Twell said: “Taking prohibited items such as mobile phones into a prison is a serious offence. We will do all we can to prosecute those who attempt to take this kind of action.”
