Ex-prison officer jailed over sex with inmate

A former HMP Wandsworth prison officer who was filmed having sex with an inmate has been jailed for 15 months.

Linda De Sousa Abreu – who was 30 at the time – previously pleaded guilty to misconduct in public office following the offence in June last year.

Judge Martin Edmunds KC said Abreu compromised her role as a prison officer – undermined discipline in the prison and put officers at increased risk.
