I was a female prisoner – there’s a simple reason why officers bonk criminals’
‘By Kayode Sanni-Arewa
A former prisoner who transformed her life after meeting Kate Middleton opened up about inappropriate relationships on the inside.
Francesca Fattore spoke after calling it “disgustingly unfair” that an officer who bonked a lag and smuggled him drugs escaped a prison sentence.
But she has now revealed that officers and inmates got intimate during her time in UK prisons after being sentenced to three years and eight months for drug offences.
The content creator also shared how such encounters were leaked and offered her opinion on why both male and female officers can be attracted to criminals.
Speaking to the Daily Star, she said: “Yeah that happened quite a few times when I was inside. Prisoners would confide in their best friend but then they would tell their best friend and it would spread around the prison.”
Francesca continued: “I actually think that the men just don’t care and have no morals but they hire such young females that they haven’t lived and they can’t help but fall for prisoners.
“They get to know us inside and out comes the good, the bad, the tantrums so it is like working with someone. If you fall for them, you fall for them but they are so young they have no self control or again morals to know it’s bloody wrong to pursue it.”
Who is Francesca?
Francesca grew up in a loving family home in Reading and her future looked bright – until drugs destroyed it.
She was a teenager when she started taking cannabis and ecstasy but this eventually progressed to heroin and crack after she became an addict.
And after the addiction took a perilous grip on her life, she became a drug dealer, because it meant she could get her own supply for free (while also earning cash).
Aged 31, she was then hauled to court for selling drugs, before she was again arrested on drug offences six years later. She ended up in prison on the same wing as one of Britain’s most evil woman – but an encounter with Kate Middleton changed her life.
She met the Princess of Wales who visited her when she was in HMP Send in Surrey as a reward for completing a 12-week rehab programme.
She spoke to the Mirror about how “genuine and sincere” Kate was before adding: “Having the privilege to sit with her inspired me to keep going and made me realise I was on the right path. She made me feel worthy and the experience left me on cloud nine. The video was also posted on the Kensington Royal social media accounts and I was the talk of the prison for weeks which was a really nice feeling.”
Francesca now runs an organisaion called UkExFemalePrisoner which aims to be a safe space for former female criminals who she creates opportunities for.
Bonking officer avoids jail
Amber Clavell, 25, avoided jail after sleeping with an inmate and smuggling him drugs in her bra.
She was instead sentenced to community service – something Francesca felt was unfair. The mum-of-two slept with convicted robber Michael Kennedy and got pregnant with his child at Geoffrey Pearce Correction Centre, Sydney, Australia.
Their relationship took place earlier this year when she smuggled 33g of crystalline methamphetamine, which she stuffed inside balloons – despite being a program and services officer in the jail’s intensive drug and alcohol treatment. She also hid tobacco in her bra.
After her sentencing, Francesca told us: “This is crazy. How the hell do they get away with stuff? If we got caught with a phone or drugs in prison we would get an extra charge and days added. Yet she walks away prison free.
“It is disgustingly unfair. If I got caught with a phone I would have got an extra prison sentence yet they know damn well half of the phones come in through the officers and they get away with this.

Prince Kayode Adewale, a contestant for the vacant Owa-Obokun of Ijesa land throne, has urged the Osun state government and traditional kingmakers to rely on oracles and deities in selecting the next monarch of the ancient town.
Prince Adewale of the Owa Bilaro Oluodo Royal Family, made the call during a press conference in Ilesa, Osun State, on Thursday.
He noted that the Ifa oracle, along with the Obokun and Ogun deities, should be the determining factors in the selection process.
The stool became vacant following the passing of Oba Gabriel Aromolaran, who joined his ancestors on September 11, 2024, after a 42-year reign.
As the contest intensifies, an Osun State High Court, presided over by Justice Adeyinka Aderibigbe, has restrained Governor Ademola Adeleke and others from appointing a new Owa-Obokun from the Haastrup family or any other candidate.
Amid the ongoing legal battles, Prince Adewale reaffirmed his interest in the throne, advocating for adherence to traditional processes to ensure fairness and legitimacy.
He said: “The Owa Obokun stool is not for sale. In Ijesaland when it’s comes to selection of a new King the Ifa, Obokun and Ogun deities will be consulted and the person that has the highest vote from them will emerge as the king.”
Declaring his intention, Adewale said he is committed to standardizing mining practices and implementing robust land reclamation policies.
“Ijeshaland is blessed with abundant natural resources, particularly in gold mining. However, our gold resources must be harnessed responsibly and sustainably. Under my leadership, I will work towards the standardization of gold mining practices, ensuring that this wealth benefits the people of Ijeshaland while preserving our environment for future generations.”
The House of Representatives on Thursday approved the extension of the implementation of the capital component of the 2024 budget from 31 December 2024 to 30 June 2025.
Leader of the House, Hon Julius Ihonvbere, laid the report of the report of the bill seeking the extension as the House dissolved into the Committee of Supply to consider it.
It is titled, “A Bill for an Act to Amend the Appropriation Act, 2024 to extend the implementation of the Capital Component of the Appropriation Act, 2024 from 31 December, 2024 to 30 June, 2025 and for Related Matters (HB.2023)”
Deputy Speaker, Benjamin Kalu, who announced the adjournment of plenary to January 14, 2025, urged members to work hard in their various to ensure that the prompt passage of the 2025 budget upon resumption.
The Association of Local Governments of Nigeria (ALGON) on Thursday condemned in strong terms the suspension of 18 local government chairmen and councillors in Edo state by the House of Assembly.
Governor Monday Okpebholo had accused the suspended chairmen of disobeying his instructions by allegedly refusing to submit their financial records to the state government.
However, the ALGON’s National Executive Council (NEC) and its Board of Trustees (BoT) on Thursday jointly condemned the decision saying the governor and lawmakers did not give the council chairmen fair hearing to defend themselves.
The association at an emergency meeting in Katsina state, appealed to President Bola Tinubu to intervene, emphasising the need to respect the autonomy and independence of local governments as guaranteed by the nation’s constitution and recent ruling by the Supreme Court.
“ALGON views this suspension as a setback for democracy and abuse of power, particularly since the chairmen were not given a chance to defend themselves.
“This suspension is invalid. It contradicts the Supreme Court’s judgment granting local governments autonomy,” the ALGON National Publicity Secretary, Hamisu Anani, in a statement said.
Anani stated that if the Edo State House of Assembly’s decision was right, it would not have generated criticisms across the length and breadth of the country.
“This suspension is unconstitutional; it is null and void.
“ALGON is hereby urging the Edo State House of Assembly to reverse the decision and respect the rule of law to strengthen democratic governance.
“ALGON also appeals to President Bola Tinubu to intervene and halt this abuse of power,” the statement said.
