Prison chef sacked over sex with lag

A PRISON chef has been fired over an affair she had with an inmate.

Mum-of-two Wendy Snowdon landed in the soup after her common-law husband found her diary.
It contained entries about her passionate relationship with the lag at Ford Open prison, near Arundel, West Sussex.
Snowdon was employed by an outside college to run catering courses for cons and cooked meals for officers in their mess.
She was quizzed by prison bosses after her long-term partner discovered her diary at their home in nearby Lodsworth.

Jail ... Snowdon ran catering courses for cons

One source said: "He found out she had been having an affair when she asked him to leave the house, but presumed the relationship was with an officer. On the day of the local summer fete at Clymping Football Club, he went back to the house and found her diary.
"He then read details about how she was having an affair with a prisoner finishing off a life sentence for killing someone.

"Wendy's partner turned up at the fete and confronted her and the prisoner, who was there. There was quite a scene." Snowdon, who worked for The Manchester College on attachment to Ford, was barred from going into the jail after revelations about her affair emerged. She was later fired by the college.
A prison service spokesman said last night: "A member of outside education staff was excluded from the prison after allegations of inappropriate behaviour.
"This is a matter for The Manchester College."
A spokesperson for the college said: "We can confirm that the member of staff in question is no longer employed by the college."
On New Year's Eve, prisoners at Ford caused £3million damage when they set fire to the establishment after an officer caught them drinking.
