Prison worker Nikki Croft, 51, jailed over relationship with inmate (but only for 12 months, because… you know).

Our thanks to Andy for this. An extract:

“In mitigation, Neil Sands [J4MB: Presumably her defence lawyer.] asked why a woman of “adult years” had succumbed to an inmate.

“It is clear in this case there was an infatuation,” he said, adding her previous relationships had left her “extremely vulnerable”.”

  1. The parade of such cases does suggest that women prison officers are indeed “vulnerable” to infatuations. Which would seem a good pragmatic reason not to place them where the ease of infatuating them leads to this parade of failure. The reports never point out the obvious power imbalance, the men are incarcerated and their days under the control of the prison. Making them “vulnerable” to the authority over them. So it surely should make someone wonder how they invert this!
