Kymberley Finn, 33, was working at HMP Durham on an agency contract when she became involved in what police described as a complex organised drug conspiracy. The scheme unravelled when officers searching a cell at HMP Northumberland in August 2022 discovered a phone containing messages about drugs and also discovered contraband."
