A CONVICTED drug dealer who wooed a disgraced prison officer plastered his cell walls with her photos - and has vowed to wait for her on the outside.
Morgan Farr Varney, 24, was locked up for ten months after being caught slipping into a cupboard with the con while working at HMP Lindholme in South Yorkshire.

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.
Prison officer smuggled Calpol syringe into jail to artificially inseminate herself with 'dangerous' lag's sperm
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 Linda De Sousa Abreu was jailed for 15 months after a film of her having sex with an inmate was shared online.
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."

The man was allegedly smothered with a pillow and strangled to death with his own bootlaces MOTHER MURDER Mum admits to murdering & dismembering her own SON before dumping his remains in rubbish bin to 'help his girlfriend' Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A MUM who confessed to murdering her own son before dismembering the body has claimed she was protecting his girlfriend. Lorena Venier, a 61-year-old nurse, told cops she killed her son Alessandro, 35, as he had been abusing her and his Colombian partner.

Alessandro's remains were found at his home in Gemona del Friuli, near the north-eastern city of Udine, Italy. His corpse was initially dumped in the family's rubbish bin before being moved when it started to rot and smell. Police later discovered it buried in quicklime and reportedly cut up into three parts. After being questioned, Lorena also confessed to the murder as she told prosecutors: "I have done a terrible thing." The mum and son lived alongside Alessandro's girlfriend Mailyn. After the birth of their first baby, the couple's relationship took a dark turn, according to Lorena. She alleged to police that Alessandro was abusing her and Mailyn and that her son had drug and alcohol problems. Alessandro was reportedly unemployed and refused to help out around the house. Things reached breaking point when he said Mailyn, him and the baby should all move to Colombia. Boy, 5, killed by sick loan sharks after being held hostage over mum's £40 debt as three suspects arrested Lorena said she feared the move would only cause bigger issues with her no longer being able to look after Mailyn. Lorena even said at a hearing on August 2: "Mailyn is the daughter that I never had." She claimed the mum-of-one's life was in danger due to the alleged abuse. She told court: "Mailyn was being beaten up, insulted and threatened many times with death. "My son downplayed the post-natal depression she was suffering from. Alessandro was violent, Mailyn's life was in danger. "I could not have allowed them to go to Colombia, Mailyn and the baby would have run very serious risks there." Lorena went on to claim "the only way to stop him was to kill him". Mailyn is alleged to have helped commit the grisly death which happened on July 25. 7 Mailyn first told police about the gruesome kill Credit: 7 Lorena told cops she killed her son as he had been abusing her and his Colombian partner Credit: Facebook 7 Alessandro's remains were found at his home in Gemona del Friuli, near the north-eastern city of Udine, Italy. Credit: Shutterstock Editorial She was in a vulnerable state and confessed less than a week later to the murder. The pair are alleged to have spiked a glass of lemonade with a tranquiliser in hopes of Alessandro drinking it. Despite finishing the glass, he survived. Lorena was then forced to inject him with two doses of insulin which she had taken from the hospital where she worked, it has been claimed. The alleged overdose ploy again didn't work but it did leave Alessandro in a bad condition. The pair decided to follow through with the murder by reportedly smothering him with a pillow and strangling him to death with his own bootlaces. Lorena then tried to hide the body by using a hacksaw to split his body into three parts and dumping it in a bin. She admitted to hoping neighbours would think he had moved to South America like he was planning to do. The pair kept it a secret for a week before Mailyn reached breaking point and confessed. Lorena has been charged with murder and concealing a body. Mailyn is suspected of instigation to murder. The quiet town of Gemona del Friuli has been left in shock by the murder. Roberto Revelant, the mayor of the town, said: "Nothing like this has ever happened here before. "It's a terrible thing, it's heart-wrenching." Results of a post-mortem exam are expected to be announced in the coming days. The women will be officially charged once the results have been revealed. The six-month-old child has been taken into care with the mayor saying the whole community is rallying around the baby.
