Prison guard charged over 'relationship with inmate' at HMP Barlinnie

A prison guard has been charged after allegations of having an inappropriate relationship with a prisoner at one of Scotland's most notorious jails.

Police Scotland said the 33-year-old woman has been arrested and charged in connection with "wilful neglect of duty" at HMP Barlinnie in Glasgow.

A force spokesperson added: "She's due to appear in court at a later date."

A Scottish Prison Service (SPS) spokesperson said: "As this matter is subject to proceedings, it would be inappropriate to comment further."

However, the £1bn development is not expected to open until 2028.
