💨 Abstract

A female prison officer in South Wales, Megan Breen, was convicted of misconduct in public office after admitting to having a relationship with a prisoner between February and May 2022. Working at HMP Usk and HMP Prescoed, Breen's actions were deemed an abuse of public trust, and she faces possible imprisonment. This incident is among several recent cases of prison officers engaged in inappropriate relationships with inmates, highlighting ongoing issues in prison staff conduct.
