Prison officers who turned their backs on the law and got put behind bars

These prison officers turned their backs on the law and found themselves behind bars.

People who work in jails have a duty of "putting public service above personal interest", according to the the Civil Service code. However, these former prison officers broke the rules and found themselves locked up.

The job of a prison officer differs from day-to-day, but duties include supervising prisoners, performing security checks and searches, helping prisoners access support and maintain relationships with professionals such as social workers, responding to emergencies and incidents, both immediately and as part of incident reviews and controlling disorderly behaviour.
