Woman prison officer ‘forced from job for being too sexy’ demands payout

A prison officer who claims she was hounded out of her job after repeated criticism for being too sexy and ‘glammed up’ is demanding compensation from Jack Straw at an employment tribunal.

Petite Amitjo Kajla told the hearing how colleagues complained that she wore too much make up and that her clothing was more revealing than the standard issue uniform.

One young inmate told her ‘Miss, you look sexy’, prompting colleagues to warn the 22-year-old that her glamorous appearance left her at risk of being dragged into a cell by prisoners.

Another inmate was overheard telling Miss Kajla: ‘I wouldn’t mind taking you back to a cell’, the tribunal heard today.

Miss Kajla, whose uniform had to be specially adapted to fit her tiny size four frame, was also allegedly bullied by a fellow prison officer over her size and age.

Miss Kajla said she was called a ‘stupid little girl’ by a senior colleague for putting her security at risk by sitting with prisoners during their ‘free association’ period.

She said she was also mocked by staff at Brinsford Young Offenders’ Institution, in Featherstone, Staffordshire, for carrying a handbag and reprimanded for waving and saying ‘hello’ to inmates.

The remarks, often made in front of inmates and other staff, made her feel harassed and humiliated, she told the tribunal.

Miss Kajla said: ‘I couldn¹t sleep at night because of the bullying and harassment.

‘I lost weight and decided I couldn¹t take it any longer and resigned.’

Miss Kajla is claiming compensation for constructive unfair dismissal. The respondents are listed as being the ‘Secretary of State for Justice and others’, understood to include another prison officer, Lee Hastings.

Miss Kajla claims she was effectively sacked by the prison service in April last year, ten moths after moving to HMP Brinsford after a trouble-free spell at Shrewsbury prison.

The Birmingham tribunal has already heard that shortly after she started at Brinsford, one of the governors reprimanded her for wearing heavy make-up, bangles and a nose stud.

Despite writing in her diary ‘Make-up is me, I don¹t want to change me’, she went out and bought lighter shades of lipstick and other make-up to comply with the rules.

Adam Farrer, for the prison service, suggested that going to work ‘glammed up’ was not appropriate and that she was seen by inmates as a ‘soft touch’.

But Miss Kajla replied that she had been taught to take a pride in her appearance. She said the ‘juvenile’ inmate who made the comment about her being sexy was ‘just testing the water to see how I would react’.

Responding to criticism of her informality with inmates, she said: ‘I was always friendly but never a friend.’

Today the tribunal heard how Miss Kajla, from Wolverhampton, West Midlands, would often sit with groups of prisoners on her own.

Giving evidence, Mr Hastings told the tribunal panel this showed a ‘lack of personal safety.’

It was suggested that Miss Kajla dressed provocatively on the prison site, in view of prisoners in their cells.

Mr Hastings said she had been ‘conditioned’ by inmates, and that he understood her personal address was ‘common knowledge amongst the inmates.’

He added: ‘Entering the prison service, it’s a difficult environment, but you would hope it would trigger self-security, self-preservation and awareness where you’ve got a group of potentially volatile individuals crowding you.

‘It’s quite clearly explained in your training the importance of security within the prison service.

‘She showed lack of her own personal safety by being crowded by other inmates and left isolated.’

Stephen Roberts, representing Miss Kajla, told Mr Hastings during cross-examination that he had ‘bullied and intimidated’ Miss Kajla because she was ‘pretty’ and ‘small’, claims Mr Hastings denied.

The prison officer said he had simply been concerned that ‘repeated actions were breaching security issues within the prison service’.

He added: ‘The young offenders are without doubt the most spontaneous, volatile and violent ones.’

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
