The National Parole Board, in a written decision released Thursday, said Laurie Bell must spend another nine months behind bars after violating an order to inform her parole officer about all "intimate relationships."
"You admitted to all of the accusations, took responsibility for lying and confirmed that you indeed have been involved in a relationship with the individual in question," said the board.
The documents state Bell had been on parole for almost a year in February when she was placed back in custody because her parole team had been tipped she was in a relationship with a Correctional Services of Canada staff member.
According to the ruling, Bell denied the relationship to her parole officer despite the fact the man's phone number was listed on her cellphone under the title "my boy."
Also during that meeting, Bell's cellphone rang and the parole officer overheard a male voice asking why Bell was going back to jail.
"You were queried about the caller and you said it was your mother," said the documents.
After a second meeting that the board said was fraught with "factual inaccuracies and evasiveness," Bell went back to her parole officer a third time and confessed.
The 27-year-old prison guard denied the relationship in an interview last month with the Winnipeg Free Press.
The guard, who refused to give his name, told the newspaper he hadn't seen nor talked to Bell since her release from the Edmonton Institute for Women in March 2008.
He said they spent a lot of time together while she was locked up.
"She was a nice girl, very outgoing," he told the Free Press.
I always thought she had a rough break in life. There were always rumours going on around there, accusations that we'd hooked up on the inside, but they could never prove that.
"When you're a guy in there, allegations like this happen all the time."
Jeff Campbell, spokesman for the Correctional Service of Canada, said he couldn't comment on a specific case, but said guards are forbidden to have relationships with inmates. He said any allegations brought forward would be investigated.
Bell was released from prison after serving two-thirds of a seven-year manslaughter sentence for her part in the 2001 shooting of Const. Dennis Strongquill.
Bell, her then-lover Robert Sand and his brother Danny -- in a truck packed with 11 rifles and shotguns and a thousand rounds of ammunition -- were on the lam at the time from Alberta for skipping court on parole violations.
Outside the western Manitoba community of Russell they were pulled over by Strongquill and another officer on a routine traffic stop.
As the unsuspecting officers got out of their vehicle, Robert Sand pulled out a sawed-off shotgun and opened fire. The officers tried to flee, but the trio chased them down, ramming into the police vehicle as it pulled into the RCMP detachment.
Strongquill was trapped on the passenger side, and was killed with four blasts fired by Sand before his partner scrambled free and began to return fire.
The trio fled but were eventually cornered by police at a motel in Wolsely, Sask.
Danny Sand was killed by a police sniper and Robert Sand was later convicted of first-degree murder.
Bell was also charged with first-degree murder, but jurors convicted her of the lesser charge of manslaughter following a trial in 2003.
Behind bars, Bell found herself in trouble again. She was convicted of assault with a weapon in July 2005 for whacking another inmate with a full can of mushrooms.
At the time, the board ruled that she must have psychological counselling and live at a halfway house. She was also required to report any intimate relationships to her supervisor and stay away from drugs and alcohol and people involved in criminal activity.
Statuatory release, unlike parole, is automatically granted to most prisoners after they've served two-thirds of their sentences, said parole board spokesman Darren Caul.
Bell's full sentence expires in July 2010, but she will again be released on statutory release Jan. 30, Caul said.
