A prison custody officer, Beverley Frank, admitted misconduct after forming a relationship with an inmate at HMP Millsike and sending intimate photos under false names. Monitoring of inmate communications uncovered the messages, leading to her questioning, arrest and seizure of her phone. She expressed remorse and cooperated with authorities. A judge highlighted the risks such relationships pose to prison security. Frank received an eight‑month suspended sentence, unpaid work, rehabilitation days and a ban on contacting the prisoner.
