Shocking Video Shows Female Prison Officer Caught Sneaking Into Cupboard With Inmate
Morgan Farr Varney, a 24-year-old prison officer in the UK, has been sent to jail after she was caught having an inappropriate relationship with a prisoner. She worked at HMP Lindholme in Doncaster, where she started falling in love with one of the inmates. Despite having special training on how to avoid being manipulated by prisoners, she still crossed the line and got involved in a secret romance.
The relationship wasn’t just emotional it turned physical and serious. Things came to light when officers searched the inmate’s cell and found love letters that had been exchanged between them. Similar letters were also found in Farr Varney’s own bedroom. That raised major red flags, and police started a full investigation.
As part of their investigation, the police looked through the prison’s security camera footage. They found videos showing Farr Varney hanging around near a cupboard with the inmate. The two of them then disappeared into the cupboard together. There were also clips of them spending time alone in areas of the prison where she wasn’t supposed to be with him.
Farr Varney was arrested in 2023. During questioning, she admitted that she had fallen for the prisoner. She was put on bail and later resigned from her job. But even after leaving the prison and after the inmate was moved to another facility — HMP Wealstun — their relationship continued. More evidence of their connection came to light when photos of her were found in the inmate’s new cell.
Eventually, Farr Varney pleaded guilty in court to misconduct in public office. That means she admitted to breaking the rules and abusing her position as a public servant. She was sentenced to 10 months in jail.
The police officer in charge of the investigation said that even though these kinds of relationships are rare, they’re taken very seriously. When prison staff get involved romantically with inmates, it puts the safety and security of the entire prison at risk. It also damages the reputation of honest prison officers who are just trying to do their jobs.
He warned that any prison staff thinking about doing something similar should understand the consequences. If they break the rules and get caught, they will be investigated, and they could go to prison just like Farr Varney.
This isn’t the first time something like this has happened. In another case, a former prison officer at HMP Wandsworth was caught on camera having sex with an inmate, and the video was shared online. That also led to criminal charges. These stories show that the prison system is not just about locking people up — it also relies heavily on trust, rules, and professional behavior. When that trust is broken, there are serious consequences.
