Two Female Prison Workers Accused of Escaped with Same Inmate

Nurse Ellis Hibbs and detainee Ruth Schmairo, 25, were charged with misconduct for allegedly having an affair with a prisoner.

The women have been accused of involvement with inmates at Bridgend’s Category B Parc Prison. Sun reported.

The man was not named in court.

Shmylo’s five-month relationship is said to have taken place between December and April 2021.

Later, Hibbs is said to have had an affair with the same man between May and July.

Hibbs, a licensed nurse, was accused of misconduct while on duty at two prisons.

The defendant appeared before a magistrate in Cardiff earlier this week.

They will next appear before a judge at the Cardiff Criminal Court in September.

Prosecutors allege that the women “betrayed the public trust” by “establishing inappropriate relationships with prisoners.”

Neither defendant has yet pleaded guilty to common law charges.

Hibbs and Shmylo next appear in court for pleadings and pretrial hearings.
