Footage from HMP Wandsworth prompts investigation and highlights longstanding issues within the prison system.

The Metropolitan Police arrested a woman on suspicion of misconduct in public office after a video surfaced online.
The video allegedly shows a prison officer engaging in sexual acts with an inmate in a Wandsworth prison cell.
The incident has raised concerns about security and staff conduct at the Category B men's prison.
A recent inspection of HMP Wandsworth revealed severe overcrowding, security failings, and rising self-harm among inmates.
