Prison Officer Jailed For Having Sex With Inmate Boyfriend In Prison Prayer Room

Remember that prison officer who had sex with an armed robber in a prayer room at HMP Coldingley whilst two other inmates stood guard?

Isabelle Dale, 23, of Cosham, Portsmouth, was sentenced to three and a half years imprisonment for two counts of misconduct in a public office this week, and one count of conspiring to convey a List A article into prison.

Two counts of misconduct? Yup – she was also found to have had a fling with another inmate, which police uncovered after going through her texts while investigating her relationship with the first inmate.

Dale and Shahid Sharif, 33, had a four-minute session in the prison prayer room, and whilst there was no CCTV in the room itself, surveillance footage from outside showed the pair enter the room and close the door behind them.

Four minutes later, they reemerged with Dale adjusting her belt buckle.

Days later, Dale later received a message from Sharif, saying: “It was good sharing dat love today ur p*****s ammaazzzeeeingggggg”. Shakespeare, eat your heart out!

The jury heard recordings of one chat, during which Dale gushed to Sharif: “I like that one baby…I’m so proud of you. My favourite one (rap) you’ve ever done…is the first one you ever sent me.”

Dale would address love letters to “Sneaky” (Sharif’s nickname) and even had “Sneaks” tattooed on the back of her neck, and referred to herself as ‘Miss Sneaky.’

Dale also assisted Sharif and others in smuggling envelopes soaked with synthetic cannabis (AKA spice) into HMP Swaleside on the Isle of Sheppey in Kent following Sharif’s transfer. Officers discovered drug-smuggling equipment in Dale’s car alongside an engagement ring, which she claimed Sharif had purchased for her.

The other inmate Dale had an affair with was named Connor Money (below).

In one text to Money, Dale wrote: “You maybe just wanting to use me because I’m an officer but I don’t think your like that xx”.

Sentencing Dale at Southwark Crown Court on Tuesday, the judge told her: ‘I have concluded that unfortunately you are a thoroughly devious and untruthful and manipulative young woman.

‘I accept you have some vulnerabilities but, as was apparent in your evidence, you seek to use them as a shield and an excuse for your actions. But they did not provide that.

‘I suspect you actually joined the prison service with a view to becoming involved in criminal activities with prisoners.’

Unfortunately this does seem to happen a lot where young female prisoners fall for an inmate’s bad boy charm and end up making terrible decisions that cost them their jobs, so it does make you wonder what the prison system can do about it. Maybe it’s not a great idea to have female prison officers (especially 23 year old ones) working in men’s prisons? Seems it could be a recipe for disaster.

Then again, there must be loads of young female guards who don’t go around having sex with prisoners and smuggling drugs for them. Clearly though, better screening is needed.
