Healthcare assistant smuggled cocaine and ketamine into prison where she worked

A healthcare assistant has been jailed for smuggling cocaine and ketamine into a prison where she worked. Megan Woodham, 30, was jailed for six years after being found guilty of conspiracy to supply cocaine and ketamine by smuggling it into HMP Risley in Warrington, Cheshire, when she worked there.

Woodham used her job to conceal the shipments of drugs, which she then handed over to inmate Daniel Doran. She also used her home as the "safehouse" for a wider ring involved in the supply of millions of pounds of cocaine.

Woodham, of Wigan, Greater Manchester, was jailed on Monday alongside Doran, 32, and Kelsey Higgins, 26, after a two-week trial at Liverpool Crown Court.
