Police officers have apprehended a woman after footage emerged of a female prison officer having s*x with an inmate in an HMP Wandsworth jail cell.
The suspect was taken into custody yesterday on suspicion of misconduct in public office.
The video shows a prison officer engaging in s*xual acts with an unidentified prisoner at the Category A jail in south-west London. The woman is seen wearing her uniform during the explicit encounter.
The footage, believed to be recent, depicts the officer first performing a s*x act on the prisoner before having intercourse with him.
The incident was reportedly filmed by the inmate’s cellmate using a mobile phone. The cell’s interior is visible in the video, showing a TV and piles of clothes on a bunk bed.
Ian Acheson, a former prison governor, commented on the security implications of the incident: “If this footage is authentic, and I’ve been assured it is, the problems confronting a likely new Labour administration go far beyond overcrowding.”
The case has raised serious concerns about security protocols and staff conduct within the prison system.
