Prison romp: Nurse Jane Jackson was caught in a tryst with a dangerous prisoner in her treatment room at HMP Woodhill

Prison romp: Nurse Jane Jackson was caught in a tryst with a dangerous prisoner in her treatment room

A prison nurse was found semi-naked in her treatment room with a dangerous inmate, a misconduct hearing was told yesterday.

Jane Jackson wedged the door closed with a mop during the liaison at a high-security jail dubbed ‘Britain’s Alcatraz’.

When a colleague burst in, the 35-year-old was hiding behind the door stripped to the waist clutching her bra and top, the Nursing and Midwifery Council was told.

Jackson is accused of having ‘sexually motivated’ meetings with the man, referred to as prisoner A, in January and February 2009. At the time, she was employed by Milton Keynes Primary Care Trust as a staff nurse based at HMP Woodhill in Buckinghamshire.

She is also said to have smuggled in toiletries for her lover, and to have left her prison keys unattended and a medication cupboard open in his presence.

Barry Dooley, for the NMC, said: ‘She said she regretted her actions and was in a vulnerable state of mind at the time. She knew prisoner A had strong feelings for her, and deep down knew he was a prisoner, she was an officer, and what she was doing was wrong.

‘It is a category A prison for the highest level of offences, including rape, murder and terrorism,’ said Mr Dooley. ‘These are highly dangerous offenders.’

On February 7, 2009, Jackson was reported to her colleague Rebecca Langley for being in the treatment room alone with prisoner A, in breach of strict regulations.

‘The door was closed, and Miss Langley tried to open the door but could not,’ said Mr Dooley. ‘She felt the door was locked by an item on the inside. She continued to call out and after ten to 15 seconds the door opened from the inside.’

Miss Langley saw prisoner A sat on the treatment bed in shorts and a T-shirt, Mr Dooley said, and Jackson was cowering behind the door. ‘Her top half was naked, and she was holding her bra and tunic in her hand’, he said, adding: ‘Miss Langley asked how she had locked the door, and the [nurse] replied that this is how we always do it, by wedging the mop against the door.’

Jackson was accused of putting the security of the prison at risk by allegedly unclipping her belt – which held her prison keys – while locked in the treatment room. She was immediately sent to a manager to explain herself and was suspended that day. Following an investigation, she was sacked by the health trust on July 9, 2009.

Yesterday’s fitness-to-practise hearing, in London, was told Jackson has admitted being caught half-dressed with prisoner A, but will argue she was not completely topless.

She has also confessed to bringing unauthorised toiletries into the prison, embracing prisoner A, and unclipping her prison keys during the treatment room liaison.

However, she denies further trysts with prisoner A, and rejects allegations her conduct was sexually motivated or that she left the medication cupboard unlocked. She also denies her fitness to continue as a nurse has been impaired.

The hearing continues.

Ah well, it was fun while it lasted, better get back to my X box before dinner time.

Classy woman! Sex with a con!

That’s better treatment than you get at NHS hospitals . They won’t even give you a glass of water !!!

…why does it matter that she was blonde?!

========== Because that is the colour of her hair ?. Stating the obvious, I know.

was she not giving category -A treatment ?

Was more expected of her …? Really ..

She also smuggled in “toiletries”? If she was going to risk discovery does anyone else find it unbelievable that it would only be for “toiletries”? She is using the “vulnerability” excuse but no male officer can use such an excuse and get away with it – why should she be able to do so? She was NOT vulnerable – she exploited her power and authority.

It’s about time this “equality” claptrap was consigned to the bin. Male officers only in male prisons and female officers in female prisons. This sort of behaviour was always bound to happen and could have had serious consequences for this stupid woman. Why if this happened THREE YEARS ago, is there now a hearing. I thought she had been sacked?

Here’s a radical idea, try reading the article. She wasn’t an officer, she’s a nurse.

Why is this news?

IDIOT comes to mind… YOU and Nurse Jackson.

To all the ones blaming “the PC brigade” for this, read more carefully. She was not a prison officer, she was a nurse. Nurses are allowed to treat male and female patients in hospitals every day. Why should they be assigned to treating people of the same gender as them only in prisons? There probably aren’t enough male nurses to staff prisons anyway and just because this woman was stupid enough to do this, it doesn’t mean that the whole system should be overhauled. Things happen, she should punished for what she did, but her behaviour does not reflect on the rest of the female population. I repeat, this does not prove that ALL women love criminals. In fact the large majority of us don’t. REALLY.
