A prison nurse has been jailed after engaging in an "inappropriate relationship" with an inmate at a Welsh jail. Elyse Hibbs, from Manchester, admitted misconduct in public office while working at HMP Parc in Bridgend.
The 25-year-old, who the court heard shared "flirtatious" calls and text messages with an inmate said she was "manipulated" by the unnamed inmate and got in "too deep". The nurse began sobbing as she was sentenced to six months in prison at Cardiff Crown Court on Tuesday, October 18.
Recorder of Cardiff Judge Tracey Lloyd-Clarke told Hibbs that despite her clear remorse, the offence was "too serious" and warranted immediate custody.
