Two prison officers, Jai Gascoyne (25) and Elle Walton (27), are sentenced to jail after prosecutors say they had illicit relationships with inmates while working at Buckley Hall Prison near Rochdale. According to reporting, the officers struck up relationships with brothers who were serving time in connection with a multi-million-pound drugs operation. The allegations state that Gascoyne and Walton, both employees tasked with overseeing prisoners, engaged in inappropriate conduct involving people they were meant to guard. The reports say the brothers had been involved in running a large-scale drug supply operation and were already in custody when the prison officers allegedly became involved. Following the case, both officers are now jailed themselves. The articles describe the conduct as misconduct tied to maintaining boundaries and security within the prison setting, and they present the relationships as part of the wider criminal matter involving the brothers and their drug operation.
