Had 13 criminals as friends
A 27-year-old prison officer was sacked after it was discovered that 13 of his Facebook friends were in fact criminals.
Nathan Singh, who worked at HMP Leicester, has some quite colorful
among his Facebook friends, including murderers, thieves and drug
dealers, scum of the world basically.
During a disciplinary hearing, Singh said he knew the lot from school
or football games. "Sometimes when I logged on to my Facebook site
there would be twenty-odd friends requests and I just accepted them,"
said Singh "Sometimes I didn't even check them. I realise now it might
have been naïve in the job I do."
However, it was also found that Singh had phoned at least seven of his 13 criminal mates in the past year.
