Ashley Malloy, 33, worked as a carer at HMP Shotts, which houses some of Scotland's most notorious criminals.
A prison worker was caught with class-A drugs after investigators discovered she was in a relationship with a gangster prisoner.
Detectives had information she was in a relationship with inmate John Mack, 37, who was serving a four-year sentence for drug offences. The pair had originally faced allegations of supplying drugs inside HMP Shotts but the claims were dropped by prosecutors. "In that room they found a small bag and she confirmed it belonged to her and when it was searched they recovered powder which was later confirmed as cocaine and heroin with a street value of £1,200 and £400."
