The Five Wells jail, which is managed by the security firm G4S, opened its doors in 2022 and currently accommodates around 1,700 male prisoners. An inspection carried out in January uncovered a widespread drug network operating within the facility.
Meanwhile, Abreu, 30, tendered her resignation and admitted to misconduct in a public office after her affair at Wandsworth came to light in June. She is set to be sentenced next month.
A spokesperson for HMP Five Wells stated, “A prison custody officer has been suspended and arrested by Northamptonshire Police on suspicion of misconduct in a public office. A prisoner has been relocated.”
