Jack Nichols started sneaking tobacco into HMP Stocken to pay off debts, but it quickly escalated into smuggling illegal drugs.

Ivan Freeman-Lunt and Joe Baggaley used prison guard Jack Nichols to smuggle cannabis into jail

He was caught out by a sniffer dog and a search of his vehicle revealed two blocks of the class B drug wrapped in clingfilm, ready to be smuggled in his trousers. He had started sneaking in tobacco to make money to pay off debts but then it escalated to smuggling in illegal drugs, which sell for about 10 times as much in jail compared to on the street.

All five men, who had previously pleaded guilty to their involvement, were sentenced at Leicester Crown Court yesterday. Freeman-Lunt, 42, from Liverpool, got two years and one month imprisonment for conspiracy to supply a class B drug.
