DescriptionAt least 1,000 prison staff are corrupt, according to a report.

The study, by the Prison Service's anti-corruption unit and the Met police, says many workers are thought to be bringing drugs into jails.

The document, which said another 500 staff have inappropriate relationships with inmates, suggests corrupt staff commit illegal acts for personal gain.

The Prison Service said the report relies on anecdotal evidence and overstates the corruption issue.
