In the UK, prison employees started an affair with a criminal
In the UK, two prison employees were sentenced for simultaneously having a romantic relationship with an inmate. About it writes Daily Star.
Alisha Bates, 29, and Jodie Wilkes, 27, were sentenced at Bolton Crown Court, Greater Manchester, on March 27. Both jailers served at Rochdale Correctional Facility.
Bates began an affair with an unnamed inmate serving a sentence for drug trafficking in December 2019. She sent the criminal nude photos of herself and explicit messages in which she said that she “wanted him 24 hours a day, seven days a week.” In April 2020, the same inmate began an affair with Wilkes, who worked in the prison's operational support unit.

Bates denied having sexual contact with the inmate, but investigators discovered she had borrowed money from his family. He later threatened her because of this. Wilkes admitted that she had “inappropriate communications” with the criminal, and he allegedly manipulated her. Bates also later stated that the inmate had taken advantage of her.
The lawyer for the former prison employees drew the court’s attention to the fact that the object of passion of both jailers “had a reputation as a seducer,” and this should be taken into account when making a decision. As a result, Bates was sentenced to two years and eight months in prison, and Wilkes was sentenced to a year in prison, suspended for two years.
Earlier in the UK, a 20-year-old prison employee was suspected of having an affair with a prisoner serving a sentence for crimes against sexual integrity. A woman was suspended from duty after she was caught in the arms of a prisoner.
