A mum was caught on CCTV throwing tennis balls containing drugs and lollipops into Forest Bank prison. Amanda Baker, 36, was spotted by staff days earlier throwing other packages over the wall into the exercise yard.
The packages contained cannabis, tobacco, cigarette papers and sweets. When she was finally stopped in July 2020 by prison officers she tried to walk away, but began to cry and claimed her ex-partner, Kasim Ahmed, who was serving five years in HMP Forest Bank, had forced her to do it.
She pleaded guilty to offences of bringing list A and B articles into prison, and was today (July 15) jailed for 16 months.
