Prison officer 'laughed' as police raided her house after affair with inmate

A former prison officer claims she laughed when police raided her house after she was involved in high speed pursuit with an escaped prisoner.

Philip King was serving a sentence at Altcourse prison for burglary and theft when Chloe Jones began working at the prison as a custody officer. She then began a relationship with him.

On July 18, 2017, King was transferred to HMP Sudbury, near Derby - but the pair kept in touch on an illicit mobile phone. Over the next 46 days the couple sent over 3,000 texts to each other.
