A prison monitor has been given a suspended jail sentence for sending explicit photographs of herself and engaging in ''phone sex'' with inmates.
Alice Belton, of Wilton Road, Bexhill-on-Sea, East Sussex, pleaded guilty at a previous hearing at Newport Crown Court on the Isle of Wight to a charge of misconduct in office.
The court heard the 23-year-old had engaged in ''inappropriate'' and ''intimate'' relationships with three inmates serving at HMP Parkhurst on the Isle of Wight where she volunteered between October 2008 and April 2009.
Her unpaid role with the Independent Monitoring Board (IMB) involved her visiting prisoners to check on their well-being.
She was arrested after she was found bringing a mobile phone into the prison.
Belton told police she had first made contact with one of the prisoners, named as Stuart, through a dating site called Flirtfast.
I should think she should be given a bonus - easing the pain of the men in there.
