A prison officer who told an inmate "I'm literally praying to have your babies", in what the judge described as the most shocking case of its type he could remember, has been jailed.

Charlotte Winstanley, now 27, began an intimate relationship with gang member Jabhari Blair, 30, shortly after starting her job at Lindholme Prison, near Doncaster.

She was discovered to have smuggled various forbidden items for him, including a mobile phone through which they exchanged explicit photographs and footage.

Winstanley has now been sentenced to two-and-a-half years at Sheffield Crown Court. The court was told how communications discovered between Winstanley and Blair revealed they referred to Mondays as their "date nights".

She also boasted to a colleague that she was "having sex daily and it was the best sex she ever had".

The court heard on Friday how messages uncovered between Winstanley and Blair included them saying how Mondays were their "date nights".

Prosecutor Aaron Dinnes read out graphic sexual messages between the pair which he said appeared to prove that their relationship was sexual and he told a judge that prison cameras picked up intimate moments of them touching and disappearing together into rooms.

Mr Dinnes said one message from Blair indicated that he "can't wait to give Miss Winstanley a beautiful baby". He said a message from the prison officer to the inmate said: "I'm literally praying to have your babies." The prosecutor said: "They also discussed how Mondays are their date nights."

And he read a message from Winstanley, which said: "Life starts now, baby. Every sacrifice I make I do so I can be with you." Another he read said: "I love my job but I love you more." The prosecutor explained how Winstanley "acted as his link to outside", with investigators even finding a link he provided to the Argos website, detailing items he wanted smuggling into prison.

He said Winstanley even went to see Blair's mother at her home in Leeds. Mr Dinnes said that, after she was suspended from duty and Blair was moved to another jail, Winstanley signed up as a visitor and undertook online meetings with him at his new prison, with the relationship lasting around three years in total.

The prosecutor said there was also evidence Winstanley passed Blair information about prisoner movements, other inmates' health care and a search of his own cell. He said this was extremely serious as Blair was a member of an organised crime group who was jailed for 12-and-a-half years for violence in 2014.
