Beatrice Auty , 28 , served 14 months in HMP Bronzefield in Surrey for money laundering.

She says it was “not uncommon’ to see prison staff in the prison dealing drugs.

A record 165 prison staff were sacked for misconduct in the year to June 2024 .

A prison officer who doesn't want to be identified says it's unsurprising to hear about staff corruption.

Former governor of HMP Belmarsh and HMP Brixton says corruption is 'a greater problem than it has ever been' John Podmore : 'Violence and organised crime dominate a failing prison system' No specific qualifications are needed to become a prison officer in England and Wales .
