Ashley Blackett, 35, and then-girlfriend Jamey-Leigh Brook-Parkinson spoke about 'building our empire'
A huge drug dealing operation was rumbled after a secret tiny phone was recovered from the leader’s prison cell. Ashley Blackett, 35, was serving time in custody when prison officers raided his cell and found bags of heroin along with the small Zanco phone.
She went onto establish a new cocaine supply business for when he was released. In one exchange of messages they spoke about ‘building our empire’, to which she replied they would ‘smash it’. “He had been at liberty from serving a sentence for possession of a firearm and he had been recalled. When he was in custody he was running a drugs business and got his brother Wesley and Christopher Taylor involved, as well as recruiting women to source and assist him.
She was arrested, as was her mum Wendy Brook, as part of that operation. Wesley Blackett was running the cannabis dealing business. The court heard that on January 14 2020, prison officers approached Blackett who was sitting at a table in HMP Oakwood, based in Rochdale. As he saw officers approach he tried to run and threw a package. Within that package officers found 7.66 grams of heroin with Taylor’s DNA on it.
They discussed setting up other drug lines, he gave her instructions on how to do that and where to get equipment in order to process the drugs. They discussed sales and bagging up and she said they were ‘building their empire’. Taylor was also said to have a ‘bad record’ including for drug dealing; and Wesley Blackett was said to have previous convictions also for drug dealing and robbery.
Sentencing, the Recorder of Manchester, Judge Nicholas Dean KC said: “Ashley Blackett, you were running a drug dealing business from inside prison. It was conducted by you using a phone in prison though it was not a particularly successful business.
