Female prison officer ‘had sex with Levi Bellfield and other inmates at Monster Mansion’

A female prison officer had sex with criminals, including depraved serial killer Levi Bellfield, according to a new book.

The warden at HMP Wakefield, nicknamed the ‘Monster Mansion’ because it houses some of the country’s most dangerous criminals, is accused of sleeping with several inmates.

Almost two-thirds are in the high-security prison for sex offences, including John Warboys and former pedophile Lostprophets singer Ian Watkins.

The new book Inside Wakefield Prison: Life Behind Bars in the Monster Mansion quotes Bellfield’s pen pal as saying the staff member “had sex with several inmates” but was allegedly fired after he “settled down with one “.

The former bouncer was jailed for life in 2008 for the hammer murders of Amelie Delagrange, 22, and Marsha McDonnell, 19, and the attempted murder of Kate Sheedy, 18 years.

Three years later he was convicted of murdering 13-year-old schoolgirl Milly Dowler, who was abducted in 2002 on her way home from school in Walton-on-Thames, Surrey.

Authors Jonathan Levi and Emma French also claim that kinky Lostprophets singer Watkins pays gangsters for protection, infamous inmate Charles Bronson behaved “like a spoiled brat” and “Dr Death” Harold Shipman once offered medical advice to fellow inmates .

In 2004, the Ministry of Justice insisted that Shipman, who was convicted of killing 15 of his patients by lethal injection in 2000, had never given medical advice to other patients.

However, former prison officer Martin Baker said inmates told him how Shipman “diagnosed” them with conditions.

Shipman, 57, hanged himself in 2004 and a review concluded prison staff could not have predicted or prevented his death.

But the book claims that at least two officers were aware of his plan to kill himself.

Also jailed is child sex killer Roy Whiting, who abducted and killed Sarah Payne in July 2000.

According to the book, he is really hated in the Monster Mansion and will probably be killed inside after frequent attacks.

He prefers to stay in his cell smoking, only going out to use the sewing machine, he claims.
