Our thanks to Gerry for this. The start of the piece:

Eighteen female guards at ‘Britain’s cushiest jail’ have been fired for having illicit affairs with inmates. Figures discovered in Freedom of Information requests found that the relationships took place over the past six years at HMP Berwyn, Britain’s biggest prison. The information follows three of the women ending up in court following the illicit liaisons at the Wrexham jail in North Wales.

Mark Fairhurst, chair of the Prison Officers’ Association, blamed the relationships on the hiring of ‘the wrong kind of women’. [J4MB: The heterosexual king?] He told the Mirror: ‘Staff being recruited don’t have face-to-face interviews… it’s all done on Zoom.

‘A lot of people getting these jobs don’t have enough life experience and are susceptible to conditioning from prisoners. Your figures just prove what we’ve been warning the employer about for years.’

The solution to this problem is blindingly obvious. Stop recruiting women as guards for men’s prisons.
