A female prison guard has been charged with having an inappropriate relationship with a male inmate.
The officer, 24, was charged in relation to the alleged relationship with the prisoner, 28, at the Wellington Correctional Centre near Dubbo in central-west New South Wales on Friday.
The alleged offence is the latest case in a spate of illegal relationships in Australian jails, following an investigation carried out by officers working alongside the Corrective Services Investigation unit.

The woman prison guard was charged with one count of engaging in a relationship with an inmate.
A New South Wales Corrective Services spokeswoman told the Daily Telegraph the alleged relationship did not relate to ‘physical sexual contact’.
The 24-year-old was granted conditional bail and will front Wellington Local Court on May 21.
Many prison authorities have been charged for illegal relationships with prisoners.
Amy Mershell Connors, a married mother-of-two, was charged in August 2018 for allegedly having sex with a jailed cop killer.
The 34-year-old worked as an officer at Kempsey Correctional centre in the north-east of NSW, where she allegedly had a 12-month-long sexual relationship with prisoner Sione Penisini.
In February, glamorous officer and part-time bikini model Tara Brooks was accused of having ‘inappropriate relations’ with a male prisoner at Parklea Correctional centre in the north-west of Sydney.
The 33-year-old allegedly was in a relationship with Hassan Zreika, 41, who reportedly had pictures of Brooks pinned up on his cell wall.
