The Warden of Slaphurst Prison, Alex Cameron, picked up the newspaper from his desk and read aloud for the benefit for his second in charge Jennifer Brooke.
"A policewoman who earned £100 an hour working as a prostitute is today starting a 15-month jail sentence. PC Kate Jordan entertained up to 20 clients a week as part of the Angel Girls escort agency.
The 29-year-old brunette, from Reading, also used her position as an officer to gain access to sensitive police files to obtain information on rivals for the couple who ran the sex business.
Jordan, who used the working name Kelly, posed provocatively in her underwear on the agency's website and proclaimed herself very eager to please.
Crown Court heard the constable specialised in lap dances before having sex with clients at their homes or in hotel rooms, just hours after she had finished a shift as a beat bobby.
She was caught when a police colleague became suspicious after hearing her chatting on the phone to the agency boss.
The professional standards department discovered she had been accessing the Police National Computer to check up on local vice bosses and passing the confidential information to her pimp.
Jordan admitted misconduct in a public office.
Jordan joined the police in June 2002, but four years later started a second job as a prostitute.
Angel Girls boss Kenny Smith, 28, met most of his new escorts for interviews before they signed a contract agreeing which services they were prepared to offer clients.
Smith's wife Julie, 28, then handled the bookings from their home in Nottingham, with the girls working at brothels in private and rented houses across the South and visiting punters.
Jordan, who drove an Audi TT sports car, offered her flat for use as a brothel.
She was arrested in August last year when Police carried out a string of raids.
She refused to co-operate and the only confided in a fellow officer who she was having a relationship with.
Kenny Smith insisted he ran a legitimate PR firm specialising in adult entertainment. He told police his firm turned over £2,000-a-week, but the true figure was closer to £15,000.
Smith - who admitted prostitution offences, aiding and abetting misconduct in a public office, possession of a shotgun without a licence and possession of a class A drug - was jailed for four years.
His wife also admitted prostitution offences, but her 51-week jail term was suspended for two years. "
The Warden folded the paper and placed it carefully back on his desk before looking up at his second in command.
"Jennifer, I think this prisoner is a special case and want her treated as such, do you understand? "
His eyes twinkled as he looked at her and conveyed a unsaid message.
The woman smiled viciously and nodded.
"Oh yes Sir, I understand. I understand completely."
Right then you would not have wanted to be Kate Jordan (no longer WPC) for all the money in the world.

As soon as Kate arrived and was through the booking in / screening procedure she was split from the other incoming prisoners and led straight to the wardens office. She was conscious already that she was being treated differently than the other arrivals and while in some way that relieved her she knew it would breed even more resentment, as if her former occupation didn't mean that anyway. Still there was some comfort to be had from standing in a well furnished, warm office, sipping a cup of coffee and waiting for the Warden to speak. He certainly seemed nice enough on first impression.
"Now then Miss Jordan, I just wanted to speak to you before you entered the prison for real. Just to set your mind at ease that we realise yours is a special case, a delicate case and that we are more than aware of it. How long a sentence did you get? 15 months? Not that long really. And if you keep your nose clean, keep your head down and don't cause me any trouble I'm sure you'd be looking at release for good behaviour in maybe 8, 9 months maybe?"
"My solicitor thought maybe 7 months maximum" she wished she hadn't said it as soon as it was out, she still wasn't used to not having the power that came with being in the police, the power over pretty much everyone else.
He had to bite back a sharp rebuke but he managed, he wanted to give the girl the impression everything was fine, no problems. That would make pulling the rug from under her all the more enjoyable.
"Hmm, well perhaps, but one thing is for sure, you need to not cause me any troubles in here, certainly if you want my help at getting you out of here early on parole."
She nodded and Warden Cameron took the time to appreciate Kate's figure. The press had speculated that her money earned as a whore had paid for her boob job and if so it looked like money well spent. The girl was very top heavy and it hard not to imagine sliding his cock in between them. She was pretty, long dark hair, dark wide eyes and very slim, why she had turned to whoring he couldn't imagine but it was going to be to his benefit. But not yet. Right now he was going to give Kate Jordan a nice easy first week of incarceration. A pampered easy life. One that would increase her level of disgust from her fellow inmates at her preferential treatment, one that should see her settle into a nice, comfortable routine before things would change very quickly. He really hated cops and the thought of the next few months brought a smile to his face and a erection to his pants.

That first week was pretty easy on Kate and despite the horrors she had imagined she found that other than being trapped and unable to move freely things weren't nearly as terrible as she had imagined (how could they be?). She had a cell to herself, she assumed because the Warden didn't want her at risk as a former police officer, that cell was on the ground floor just a short walk from the Warden's office. She didn't have to work as yet, her cell seemed to have all the mod cons and the prison officers all seemed to treat her well. Despite the loss of her liberty she felt she could handle this for the requisite number of months.
That all changed on the Friday, a week to the day of her arrival at Slaphurst Prison. So far she had showered separately from the other inmates. While they had their time early in the morning Kate had been escorted to the shower block, alone, after seven p.m. each night. She liked that, it was time she enjoyed as she lathered her body and hair and washed herself. And so it was on that Friday, her guard had stood outside the block as she entered and stripped and began cleaning herself and shampooing her hair. Just as she had started to rinse the soap from her long, dark hair she was shoved hard from behind and on the slippery floor and taken by surprise she smacked face first into the hard tile wall in front of her. Stunned she dropped to her knees and before she had time to react her wrists were grabbed and cuffed behind her back.
