Crackdown on illicit affairs between prison guards and their criminal lovers trends now
Jennifer Gavan, Ayshea Gunn and Emily Watson were all locked up within the last three years for sparking relationships with prisoners at £250 million super prison HMP Berwyn in Wrexham, North Wales, which houses Category C adult male offenders.
Staff at the prison, which opened in 2017, have now had to undergo compulsory new training in a bid to tackle such issues at the 2,100-capacity jail.
The most recent to be jailed was Gavan, 27, who was sent down for eight months last year. She had sent intimate photos of herself to prisoner Alex Coxon, 25, on Snapchat and kissed him during the relationship between April and July 2020. She also smuggled a mobile phone behind bars for Coxon.

Rachel Martin, 25, became intimate with convicted robber Raymond Abraham while he served a sentence at HMP Guys Marsh, where she worked.
Martin exchanged 'thousands' of voice, video and text messages with the inmate, knowing that prisoners were not allowed mobile phones.
She even sent him one message advising him to flush a mobile phone down the toilet if his cell was searched, a court heard.
Martin, from Salisbury, Wiltshire, also gave the convict a parcel containing 'high-value designer clothes and footwear' as well as female underwear during their five-month relationship.
