At the very least they would lose their job. If they do end up being charged and in prison, they would spend the whole duration of their stay in serious danger. Think I'm joking? I have a friend who is a prison officer, and he said that the prison service advise officers that if he met anyone and they asked what job he did, that he should say he is a civil servant and not say any more. The reason being that prisoners have family and friends, and he could be risking serious injury (or death) by telling people he doesn't really know that he is a prison officer.
I think it's likely the mobile was taken in another way. You'd be surprised how inventive prisoners' families and friends are in finding ways to get things into prison. In fact, I suspect that if some of them showed half as much ingenuity in keeping their friends/family out of prison as they do in getting stuff into them, the world would be a better place.
