Prison guard 'twerks' for drill rapper filming her behind bars
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video A prison officer was fired from her position after she was filmed dancing for a Manchester drill rapper in prison. The unnamed officer worked at the Category B HMP Forest Bank and began twerking when told to show her 'batty' by the prisoner, in recently released footage seen by the Mail. The woman smiled and stuck up her middle finger while laughing at the men in the 2022 incident. The prisoner, who had a phone, filmed the encounter and said: 'Show me that batty rapid! Show me that batty rapid,' before cheering when the officer shook her behind. In a statement, a prison spokesperson condemned the video, adding: 'The use of mobile phones in any prison is illegal, and we constantly review our activity to prevent the issue of the conveyance of illicit items within the prison. 'Where individuals are identified and found in possession of mobile phones, action is taken and reported to the relevant authorities. In addition, we take a zero-tolerance approach to inappropriate behaviour that undermines the complex work of prison officers to maintain public security. 'Anyone seeking to undermine public trust while holding a position of authority will be robustly dealt with.' Last month, a mother-of-one broke down in tears as she was jailed for performing sex acts on an inmate. Katie Evans, 26, waved to her family as she was taken down at Sheffield Crown Court after admitting to being in a sexual relationship with burglar Daniel Brownley at Doncaster Prison. Evans, who worked there from the age of 21, shared 140 phone calls with Brownley, moved money around in bank accounts for him and told him information the prison had on him. She boasted to a former prison officer that she had performed oral sex on him and referred to herself as his 'queen'. Judge Jeremy Richardson told Evans: 'It appears you indulged in some form of sexual activity in the prison. It has been described that on one occasion, you had oral sex with him. 'It is truly a terrible situation for a judge to be passing sentence on a former prison officer who has been branded a corrupt prison officer.' Judge Richardson told Evans he corrupted you and not the reverse, adding: 'I'm entirely satisfied you were manipulated by an experienced criminal to assist him.' The judge said Evans was 'young and immature' when the offending happened in 2020, and said she was susceptible to the manipulation from Brownley. More Trending And last year, a prison guard who was filmed having sex with an inmate inside HMP Wandsworth pleaded guilty to misconduct. Linda De Sousa Abreu, 30, was jailed for 15 months following her 'shocking breach of the public's trust'. The footage showed De Sousa Abreu, who is married, having sex with inmate Linton Weirich, 36, in June as her radio crackles with messages in the background. His cellmate records the encounter on his phone, saying: 'This is how we roll in Wandsworth.'

Prison officer told jailed robber she was his ‘queen'
An 'immature' female prison officer told a jailed robber she was his 'queen' during their relationship, a court heard. Katie Evans, 26, a mother of one, wept in the dock as she was jailed for 21 months for starting an intimate relationship with inmate Daniel Brownley at Doncaster Prison in South Yorkshire. Evans had more than 140 phone calls with him, moved money around bank accounts for him, and supplied him with information the prison held on him, said Judge Jeremy Richardson KC at Sheffield Crown Court. The court was told last week that Evans admitted an 'intimate' relationship with Brownley, but prosecutors said it was not clear whether she accepted this was sexual. The judge heard she had boasted to a former prison officer that she had performed a sex act on the inmate, and the defendant referred to herself as 'your queen' when talking to Brownley. On Tuesday, Judge Richardson told Evans: 'It appears you indulged in some form of sexual activity in the prison. 'It is truly a terrible situation for a judge to be passing sentence on a former prison officer who has been branded a corrupt prison officer.' Judge Richardson told Evans 'he corrupted you and not the reverse', adding: 'I'm entirely satisfied you were manipulated by an experienced criminal to assist him.' But he said: 'Your misconduct materially affected the good order and discipline of the prison.' The judge said Evans was 'young and immature' at the time of the offending in 2020 and that she was 'regrettably susceptible to manipulation'. 'You were inexperienced and immature but that is, however, no excuse for what you did,' he told her. He said he accepted she was genuinely remorseful and posed no danger to the public in the future. Judge Richardson said the sentence of 21 months should have been longer but, 'purely as an act of mercy', he reduced it to take into account the effect it will have on her relationship with her young daughter and the difficulties she will have in prison as a former officer. The judge also outlined the issues prisons are currently having with accommodating inmates serving short sentences. But he said the offending was 'so serious that only an immediate sentence of imprisonment is appropriate in this case'. Evans, of Hatfield, Doncaster, admitted misconduct in a public office at a previous hearing. Still crying, she waved at family members in the public gallery as she was led from the dock. The court heard that Brownley had been jailed for five and a half years in 2016 for attempted robbery, burglary and handling stolen goods. He had been released but was back in prison in 2020 after he was recalled for breaching his licence conditions. Broaden your horizons with award-winning British journalism.

Letters to editor: Poor policies in California; wrong vote by Brownley
Letters to editor: Poor policies in California; wrong vote by Brownley California's policies must change Watching the horrible fires develop over the last two weeks shows how we need to change our policies here in California. Those of us who have lived in this state have come to expect this every fall and winter. We are still voting for so-called leaders because they are promising the wrong things — to save a fish or frog or what sounds good to people. We need more controlled burns like they used to do in the 1970s and 1980s. Where is the call for impeachment for Gavin Newsom and Karen Bass.? Heaven forbid this had happened under a Republican administration. To the GOP party chairwoman, why are you not speaking out more about this.? So as always everyone in government or politics all they care about is their title and not the little person. To help prevent this in the future, please change the policies and make our state safe again. Ray Sobrino Jr., Thousand Oaks Brownley must answer for vote The Laken Riley Act was approved in the U.S. House of Representatives by a wide margin (263-159), and now goes to President Trump for his signature. Unfortunately, our local House representative Julia Brownley voted against it. Laken, a student at the University of Georgia, was out on a jog a year ago when she was brutally murdered by an illegal immigrant from Venezuela. He had previously been arrested for shoplifting but had been released from custody. This bill is a common-sense answer to the crime sweeping our country by undocumented immigrants crossing our borders. At last count by ICE, there are 110,000 people with offenses referenced in the bill. With amendments added in the Senate, it will detain illegal immigrants charged with or convicted of theft-related crimes, assault of a law officer or crimes that cause death or serious injury. These people have already broken one law by entering our country illegally. They are not good people and should be detained if they commit another crime. This bill will protect innocent victims like Laken from dying. We need to ask Julia Brownley why she voted against this bill. Keeping Americans safe should be her No. 1 priority. Public safety demands action by our legislators. We need to remember Julia Brownley's no vote when she is on the ballot again in two years. Doug Blois, Camarillo Ignoring the teachings of Jesus Can you truly call yourself a Christian if you ignore the teachings of Jesus? Or are you simply a hypocrite dressed up in a sheep costume?
