Jail watchdog chair smuggled in so much contraband for inmate lovers that she called herself 'the prison version of Deliveroo'

Helen Spree, the chair of the jail watchdog at Walton jail in Liverpool, found herself in a scandal after it emerged she had smuggled in a significant amount of contraband for inmates, comparing herself to "the prison version of Deliveroo." As the head of the independent monitoring board, her role was to ensure prisoners were treated justly and humanely, but her actions have raised serious questions about her integrity and oversight responsibilities. This breach not only undermines her position but also calls into question the effectiveness of independent monitoring boards in maintaining prison standards.
