Judge Richardson had said: “She’s been foolish and has bad judgement about the men she seeks to have intimacy with.”
He told Stubbs: “What is clear to me is you make terrible choices - absolutely terrible choices - in relation with the men you wish to associate with and have intimacy and I hope the probation service will send you on a better course than you have taken thus far.
"I’m minded to impose a suspended sentence. I want to make it clear to you – you get one chance in life.”

He had told her: “Anymore crime – never mind taking things into prison - you are going to prison. Children or no children.
"I am trying to help you because it’s clear as clear can be that your choices about the men you choose to associate with and be intimate with are disastrous.”
Stubbs pleaded guilty to possessing class C drug pregablin with intent to supply, possessing class C drug oxymetholone with intent to supply and to conveying a prohibited mobile phone and cables into HMP Lindholme after the incident on June 19, 2019.
