The inmate has been named as Jordan Stones, 30, a crack cocaine dealer currently serving a five-a-half year sentence.
Stones, from Stockton-on-Tees, Co Durham, posted images from his cell on Facebook showing racy snaps of his prison officer lover pinned to the walls.
And his mother now insists the couple are still together - and will rekindle their relationship when the pair are eventually released from jail.
Donna March, 47, said: "They are still together. They've been together for two and a half years. All of his belongings are at her house for when he gets out of jail.

"She was around here all the time with my girls. She takes them out for day trips, she takes them up to her place at weekends."
Ms March, of Billingham, Co Durham, added: "Honest to God, she's like another daughter to me. She's amazing."
Farr Varney joined the Prison Service in 2022 and became besotted with Stones while he was on remand at the category-C prison near Doncaster.
Suspicions were raised after she was spotted with him on a wing at Lindholme and she was arrested in January 2023.

An investigation revealed a slew of love letters between the pair, including in the inmate's cell and in Farr Varney's bedroom.
CCTV footage also showed the pair entering a cupboard.
Interviewed by police, Farr Varney admitted she had "proper fallen in love" with him and admitted she had "f****ed her life up".
Stones was handed an extra six weeks' jail time after being caught with an illicit mobile phone to stay in touch with the shamed guard.

Farr Varney, of Stainforth, South Yorks, was this week sentenced to ten months in prison after admitting to misconduct in public office.
Stones was jailed at Teesside Crown Court in April 2023, after pleading guilty to two counts of possessing a Class A drug.
One charge was for possession with intent to supply crack cocaine, while the other was for simple possession.
He was previously jailed aged 20 after being caught selling heroin.

Police caught him attempting to flush wraps of heroin down the toilet.
After being bailed, officers caught him with another 12 wraps the following day.
Stones told detectives he was selling the wares to pay back a drug debt.
'CLEAR MESSAGE'
Farr Varney had received anti-corruption training just months before the affair began.

Following her arrest, she resigned from her role - but the relationship continued despite Stones being moved to Wealstun Prison, near Wetherby in West Yorkshire.
Farr Varney appeared on This Morning last year to discuss facing huge bills after buying braces from an online dental firm only for it to fold partway through her treatment.
Detective Constable Scott Jarvis, of South Yorkshire Police's Prison Anti-Corruption Unit, said her sentencing should send a "clear message" to warders considering embarking on affairs.
A record number of female prison guards have been fired for affairs with male inmates - with 29 given the sack in the past three years.

That compares to just nine women who lost their jobs for the same offence between 2017 and 2019.
In January, former Wandsworth prison officer
Det Con Jarvis said: "We take any reports of improper relationships between prison staff and inmates incredibly seriously and conduct thorough investigations to ensure those who are guilty of these offences are brought to justice.
"These types of relationships are thankfully rare, but when they do happen, they threaten to undermine the reputation of the prison service and other hard-working prison officers who abide by the rules and regulations attached to the job.

"I hope this sentencing sends out a clear message to any prison officers thinking of committing similar offences that if you engage in this type of criminality, you will be investigated by police and you will be brought to justice."

She explained: "That's what they do these organisations, they have people that are pickers and their job is to pick people to become mules. "They'll target vulnerabilities which might be age because at 19 or 20 you're incredibly naive, you're easy to manipulate.

Why Brit backpackers are prime targets, Thai cop reveals By Patrick Harrington, Foreign News Reporter Police Lieutenant Colonel Arun Musikim, Deputy Inspector of the Surat Thani province police force, said: 'Cases involving British nationals smuggling cannabis have been around for a while. 'There is a lot of cannabis grown on Thailand's islands in the south because the climate is suitable and it is legal. A lot of gangs are attracted to this. 'There are now various smuggling methods that we have seen. Some carry it themselves, some hire backpackers, and some send it via mail. 'This year, there have been many cases we have intercepted. Most involve British and Malaysian nationals. 'It's easy for British citizens to travel as they can enter Thailand and return to the UK without needing a visa. 'Most of the smugglers are people hired to carry the cannabis, similar to how tourists might smuggle tax-free goods. 'They're usually unemployed individuals from the UK. The gangs offer them flights, pocket money and hotel stays, just to come and travel and take a bag back home with them. 'These people often have poor social standing at home and are looking for ways to earn quick money. They find them through friends or on social media. 'Many will go to festivals or parties while they are here, just like they are having a normal trip abroad. 'They are told that it is easy and they will not be caught. Then the amount the organisers can sell the cannabis for in the UK is much higher than it costs in Thailand. 'Police suspect that there are multiple employers and groups receiving the drugs on the other end. The cannabis then enters the UK market.
