HOLES cut in uniforms for illegal liaisons, blackmail 'sext' plots and pornography 'sticks' smuggled through the gates - this is the sordid underbelly of prison life in modern Britain. The shocking sex tape of officer Linda De Sousa Abreu, who received a 15-month jail sentence this week, has appalled the public and those who work in the prison service.

The Venezuela native, 30, a married swinger with an account on OnlyFans, claimed to have been “terrified for her own safety” when she was filmed in June last year. But her lies have since been debunked. The same day as the now-infamous video was recorded, she was also captured performing a sex act with the same inmate, Linton Weirich, on her bodycam.

She romped with the burglar, held in Wandsworth Prison for stealing £65,000 worth of valuables, at least once before and even arranged for an officer “to be present to keep watch”. The judge said De Sousa Abreu “participated with evident enthusiasm” in the viral video, which was nearly five minutes long and had “caused great harm” to the prison service.

Shockingly, in recent years stories like this have become increasingly common, with record numbers of female prison officers fired for having sex with male inmates. In the last three years alone, 29 were sacked, compared to just nine between 2017 and 2019, while 50 more, from 124 investigations, were suspended or moved to a new role instead.
