A prison employee has pleaded guilty to having an “inappropriate relationship” with an inmate.
Kelsey Calvert also admitted bringing codeine into HMP Holme House, a category C men’s prison in Stockton-on-Tees.
The 28-year-old sobbed in the dock as she pleaded guilty to the two offences at Teesside Crown Court on Friday.
Calvert, of Ryhope, Sunderland, also pleaded guilty to a charge of carrying a prohibited article – codeine – into the prison before the same date.
Judge Richard Bennett adjourned the case for a pre-sentence report and told Calvert she will be sentenced on October 4.
She was granted unconditional bail until then.
