Roles include monitoring prisoners' phone calls, working in control rooms and taking part in security checks
Convicted criminals who have been released from prison are being paid £25,600 to go back inside and take jobs working with inmates. People who have served their time are being given jobs doing security checks, overseeing prison visits, working in control rooms, escorting contractors and monitoring inmates’ phone calls, reports The Mirror.

Under the recruitment plans, convicted criminals will undergo strict vetting. Former Brixton jail governor Mrs Rees told the Up Shot podcast: “We’ve committed to recruiting quite a big number of people with lived experience.” Asked how existing staff would react, Mrs Rees said: “I can say from my direct experience, they’ve taken to it absolutely, brilliantly, and they love it.”
