A prison nurse, Stephanie Adair, admits an inappropriate personal relationship with inmate Jakhi (also reported as Jahki) Crosdale while working at HMP Wandsworth. Reporting says she used a secret mobile phone to stay in touch with the convicted killer.
The Independent and Mirror report that Adair, 29, pleads guilty to misconduct in a public office at Kingston Crown Court. The Mirror and Daily Record describe the relationship in those terms and place it during her employment at the jail. The Daily Mail adds a specific timeframe, saying the conduct took place between 1 September 2023 and 2 November 2024, and frames the case as part of wider scrutiny around HMP Wandsworth.
Across outlets, the core facts are that Adair had contact beyond her professional duties, admitted the relationship, and entered a guilty plea related to her conduct as a public office holder. Details of the exact phrasing and the inmate’s name vary slightly between reports, but the allegations and the court outcome are consistent.
