A besotted prison officer who was filmed entering a cupboard with an inmate is behind bars herself after admitting she had ‘fallen in love’ with him.
Morgan Farr Varney’s illicit relationship was exposed after CCTV footage showed the pair ‘loitering’ together at Lindholme Prison near Doncaster in South Yorkshire.
After being arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office, the 24-year-old admitted she had ‘f****ed her life up’.
Farr Varney – who also appeared on This Morning talking about her ‘online dentistry nightmare’ – has been jailed for ten months.
The case comes as a record number of female prison guards have been fired for affairs with male inmates – with 29 given the sack in the past three years.
That compares to just nine women who lost their jobs for the same offence between 2017 and 2019.
In January, former Wandsworth prison officer Linda De Sousa Abreu was jailed for 15 months after a film of her having sex with an inmate was shared online.
After joining the Prison Service in April 2022, Farr Varney was given anti-corruption training – including how to spot attempted manipulation by inmates.
