Prisoner hid smuggled cannabis and Mamba in underpants during 'group hug'

A mum smuggled Mamba and cannabis into prison during a "group hug" with a child and a prisoner, a court was told. Georgina Gayle passed a package of drugs to the man, a serving prisoner at Ranby Prison in Retford on February 2, 2020.

He shoved the drugs into his underpants but was spotted by a prison guard who seized the cannabis - which had a value of between £1,100 and £2,200 - a higher-priced commodity in prison, as well as the Mamba, with an estimated worth of between £600 and £1,500.

Gayle, 43, of Milnroy Road, Leicester, was interviewed, Nottingham Crown Court heard on Tuesday (October 11). She was threatened to deliver the package - or other inmates would beat up her brother in Ranby.
