Harri Pullen, 27, was linked to the nurse and prison officer at HMP Parc in Bridgend, South Wales, while he was serving a four-year term which ended last year.

Prison nurse Elyse Hobbs, 27, was jailed for her inappropriate relationship with Pullen.

Ruth Shmylo, 26, was sacked from her job as a prison officer after Pullen called her for phone sex from his cell, but a trial cleared her of criminality.

Pullen had been free for a matter of months when he was caught dealing drugs on an e-bike in Newport city centre on March 26 this year

He was injured as he resisted the arresting officers and was taken to hospital where he fled in handcuffs and jumped into a “getaway car”.

He was found a week later at a farmhouse outside Newport, where he drove off in a Mercedes but was caught by police in a cul-de-sac.
