Clare Davenport, 52, a former detective, is released from immediate custody after a judge suspends her sentence at Birmingham Crown Court. Multiple reports say Davenport had been involved in prison smuggling activities, including the delivery of drugs and blades to inmates using drones. In court, the judge took account of Davenport’s personal circumstances, including that she is still breastfeeding the youngest of her four children, according to reporting. Davenport was described as crying in the dock as the decision was announced. The sentencing outcome means she does not serve her term right away, with the suspension intended to avoid separating her children from their mother during the period considered by the judge. The reporting focuses on the court’s reasoning for suspending the sentence rather than on additional details of the underlying offences, the length of the sentence, or any conditions attached to the suspension. Overall, the outlets agree on the identity of Davenport, the alleged prison-drone smuggling involvement, and the court’s decision to suspend her sentence following evidence about breastfeeding and family circumstances.
