A prison officer at HMP Altcourse in Liverpool has been arrested on suspicion of misconduct in a public office.
The 26-year-old woman from Warrington was held by the North West Regional Organised Crime Unit (NWROCU) on Wednesday, Merseyside Police said.
She was taken to a local police station for questioning and has since been released under investigation.
"Corruption of any kind is simply not tolerated," said Det Insp Dawn Hampson.
She said the arrest followed a joint investigation between the Prison Service and NWROCU.
She encouraged prison workers "to report" any colleagues suspected of being "involved in corrupt activity".
