According to reports, a female prison officer simply identified Shania Begum who was caught on camera having sex with a male inmate in a store cupboard has received a 16 months jail term.
The 25-year-old was found sleeping with Joshua Mullings after striking up an ‘inappropriate relationship’ while working at HMP Birmingham.
It was gathered that she used the store cupboard to engage in ‘play fighting, flirting, heavy petting and penetrative sex’ with the inmate at the Category B men’s prison.
A situation that led the prison bosses to install a camera to confirm their suspicion. Meanwhile the secret rendezvous were uncovered when Begum was caught in the act.
Begum, of Telford, Shropshire, earlier admitted misconduct in a public office and was jailed at Birmingham Crown Court today.

“As time went by you fell under suspicion and secret surveillance cameras were set up in the store cupboard. You and he repeatedly spent time together in that store cupboard to be physically intimate, up to and including penetrative physical acts”. Judge John Butterfield said.
While stating that she was observed engaging in consensual activity whilst on duty, Butterfield added that what she had done had a ‘corrosive effect’ on the prison system.
The Judge noted that it was the prisoners’ duty to keep the store cupboard tidy and one of those prisoners included Mullings. The court reportedly heard an anti-corruption probe was carried out after prison intelligence led bosses to believe she was having a relationship with the prisoner.
A prosecutor, Daniel Oscroft, stated that at the time, she was a prison officer at HMP Birmingham and had been from December 3, 2018.
“The intelligence suggested that then relationship was intimate and taking place within a store cupboard within the prison. Cameras were placed within the store cupboard and between September 22 and 29 2022 the defendant and Joshua Mullings were observed engaging in sexual activity.” He noted further.
The court heard the activity also included Begum giving Mr Mullings oral sex on at least two occasions.
The footage also showed on some occasions Begum’s radio would go off, which she ignored, and she had also been interrupted by other members of staff. It is said that there was one time when she could not be located for about an hour.

Reports say, when she was arrested her phone was seized and her internet browsing history revealed she had had an interest in Mullings and media reports written about him.
The prosecutor said that her conduct undermines confidence in the prison system, causes problems with prison order and has an impact on the stability and welfare of the prison estate.
Andrew Baker, defending, said that she is of previous good character and almost at a loss to explain her conduct. Baker added that she is deeply remorseful.
