A landlady allowed her pub to be used as a factory sending spice to prisoners and was even captured on camera dancing on a beer keg singing about double dipping drugs. Lorraine Jackson pleaded guilty to allowing the cellar and the bedrooms her pub to be used as a base for the illegal operation.
She also discussed it in messages with her daughter’s prisoner boyfriend who masterminded the scheme. When quizzed by police, she denied any knowledge of the conspiracy but eventually pleaded guilty to allowing the premises of the Gamull pub, Preston, to be used for drug activity, LancsLive reports.
The operation was run by prisoner Asaiah Facey and saw his girlfriend Shannon Jackson send letters dipped in the liquid form of the drug to be posted to the prison. A fake solicitors stamp was used to trick the prison staff into thinking the letters contained legal correspondence and therefore could not be opened.

It remains unclear how much money was made through the scheme but Preston Crown Court heard that a single sheet of paper could be sold for £900, with multiple sheets sent in each letter. Around 35 letters were linked to Facey and Shannon Jackson’s conspiracy along with payments of £1,300 from one prisoner.
Lorraine Jackson’s attempts to play dumb about the drug factory were refuted by the fact that paraphernalia, such as stamps and receipts, involved in the preparation of the letters was found on open display in the manager’s accommodation of the pub, including in her bedroom. Further evidence was in WhatsApp messages exchanged with Facey on the phone he illegally had in prison.
