Linda De Sousa Abreu was filmed having sex with the prisoner earlier this year. The category B Victorian jail in south-west London hasA scandal-hit prison where an inmate was filmed having sex in a cell with a female guard has been condemned as 'dangerously overcrowded' and infested with vermin in a damning new report.
The board found it was 'alarmingly easy' for prisoners to get hold of contraband with cell searches finding phones, drugs, makeshift weapons and alcohol - while the smell of cannabis was said to be ubiquitous. The shortage of experienced staff - with almost half having been in their job for less than a year - 'undermined attempts to make the prison run effectively' and staff absence often reached 50 per cent, it said.
