The video, which has circulated among inmates and even reached individuals outside the prison, shows the officer engaging in sexual acts with a burly, tattooed inmate. T
he officer, now suspended from her duties, was captured on camera with her trousers off, still wearing her white prison-issue blouse and security pass, as her belt with its usual accoutrements of handcuffs, baton, and pepper spray audibly rattles during the encounter.
This incident marks another blow to the UK’s beleaguered prison system, following a similar case where Linda de Sousa Abreu, a married prison officer, admitted to misconduct after a video emerged of her having sex with an inmate at HMP Wandsworth.
The video from Five Wells prison, run by G4S, explicitly shows the faces of both the officer and the inmate, raising serious concerns about security and professionalism within the correctional facility.
The implicated inmate has since been transferred to a different prison as investigations by the police continue.
