Female Cop Went Viral On Camera | Felt Like a Gangster

“This is how we live at Wandsworth, bruv.” On June 27th, 2024, a 4-minute video leaked from inside HMP Wandsworth changed everything. It showed a prison officer, Linda De Sousa Abreu, engaging in misconduct with an inmate. But this story goes deeper than a viral clip. This is the story of a Victorian prison on the brink of collapse, a mental health crisis ignored, and a system so broken that the unthinkable became routine.

In this documentary, we break down the full timeline of the Linda De Sousa Abreu scandal. From the crumbling, overcrowded cells of HMP Wandsworth to the high-stakes arrest at Heathrow Airport, we uncover how a 31-year-old officer went from basic training to becoming the face of Britain’s prison crisis.
We examine the psychological reports, the shocking security failures that allowed contraband phones to rule the wings, and the "urgent notification" that exposed Wandsworth as inhumane and unfit for purpose.
