A Prison Service spokesman previously said: “Staff corruption is not tolerated and the former prison officer allegedly featured in this video has been reported to the police. 

“It would be inappropriate to comment further while they investigate.”

The Met Police said: “We have been made aware of a video allegedly filmed inside HMP Wandsworth.

“A police investigation is under way. At this early stage there have been no arrests. We are in close contact with the Ministry of Justice.”
