The British media is abuzz with a scandal at a London prison. A female prison guard was caught engaging in sexual activities with an inmate. Another inmate recorded the incident, and the video quickly went viral online. The guard’s actions are less surprising upon examining her past...

According to the "Daily Mail," 31-year-old Linda De Sousa Abreu is facing serious issues and a police investigation after she was recorded having sex with an inmate at Wandsworth Prison in London. Linda has reportedly resigned from her position as a prison guard.

The British media reports that Linda and her husband were stars on Channel 4's show "Open House: The Great Sex Experiment," which explores couples pushing boundaries in their relationships. Additionally, Linda is said to have an account on "Only Fans," a site popular with adult content enthusiasts.

The "Daily Mail" also references a statement from Linda's sister, who revealed that Linda is a swinger.

She's a swinger. She was on a Channel Four programme called Open House. "I never saw it. It's not the sort of thing I'd watch with my little sister in." Andreina added: "I only found out that she worked for the prison service in January. "That's when I spoke to her and said do not mix your lifestyle with work. Don't be stupid, don't do stupid things - said Andreina.s - Andreina reportedly said.

Scandalous prison video. "We made history"

The "Daily Mail" shared a short video clip. A television and clothes arranged on a bunk bed can be seen in the cell. The video shows the prison guard having sex with an inmate while his cellmate records it with a phone. "Guys we've made history, this is what I'm telling you," he says to the camera.

The guard's radio was likely intentionally left on, and shortly after, someone tried to enter the cell. The person filming told his friend to continue while he went to the door. "This is how we roll in Wandsworth," he told the camera.

Vanessa Frake, a former head of security, called the video shocking. "This woman dishonours not only herself but also the uniform and the Prison Service," she stated.

Staff corruption is not tolerated and the former prison officer allegedly featured in this video has been reported to the police. It would be inappropriate to comment further while they investigate - a Prison Service spokesman told the "Daily Mail".

The "Daily Mail" adds that, according to official statistics, since 2013, over 80 prison staff members have been dismissed or reprimanded for relationships with inmates. Up until last year, 59 women and 24 men were caught.

The prison underwent an inspection. Shocking results

The "Daily Mail" recalls a recent inspection of Wandsworth Prison, which revealed startling conditions. It was found that 80% of inmates shared cells meant for one person, 44% had drugs, and some had not showered for five days.

The Daily Mail reports that German tennis player Boris Becker is among those serving time in London’s largest prison. Previous inmates include WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange and writer Oscar Wilde.
