Lag sets up Facebook group for prisoners to share tips on sneaking in phones and drugs
Armed robber pictured wearing Rolex watch and bragging about cushy life behind bars
A LAG set up a social media account in jail for prisoners to share tips on sneaking in contraband.
Craig Lynch was behind a Cellfie group on Facebook to help cons get phones and drugs.
The armed robber also started a WhatsApp group for inmates.
Lynch, 35, bragged about his cushy lifestyle in HMP Bedford.
On June 29, he posted on Cellfie photos of two charging phones with a caption reading “SUPERCHARGE . . .”
In another, he posed topless in his cell, sticking out his tongue and holding up two fingers.
Photos also showed him wearing a Rolex watch and claiming he is living better than “people on the street”.

Cellfie was used by cons in other jails after Lynch set it up in May.
They accessed it through mobile phones, which are banned in jails.
Lynch, of Edgware, North London, is serving eight years and six months for a knifepoint robbery.
The Prison Service acted after it discovered his scam.
It said: “This behaviour is completely unacceptable.
“We have carried out a search of this offender’s cell and we are working to close the account down.
“He has been stripped of his privileges and faces a police investigation, with the potential of additional time in prison.”
Lynch is known for taunting police when he escaped from HMP Hollesley Bay in 2009 and was on the run for four months.
While at large he posted pictures of himself wearing tinsel and cooking a Christmas turkey while swearing at the camera.
