It may just be me, but I think 18 is too young to work in a prison.

It's not just you, I share this viewpoint.

I had thought it was the inmate that was a teen... This is a failure of the licencing system they have in place. There's no way that anyone with less than a few years of work experience requiring a use of force certification should be employed by a prison.

Now she can have all the sex in prison she wants.

teen prison officer

Wut?

How about we start with not letting teens do that? Most teens barely know how to take care of themselves and now we want them to work as an officer in a prison? Let's set a minimum age there, 24 or something?

A former prison officer who had a sexual relationship with an inmate and smuggled cannabis and two mobile phones into the prison for him has been jailed for three years.

Unless I'm mistaken prisoners cannot consent to sex. Wheres the SA charges?

Huh. Of all the guys to hook up with in jail, she goes for the face tatooed guy, seems an odd choice. She got off easy really, because of informing on the prison snitch. Who knew they would have kids that young working directly with prisoners, alone enough to have sex and exchange contraband.

Seems a security nightmare, I'm surprised their insurance company hasn't demanded changes to protocols really.
