Britain's biggest prison which opened in 2017 was seen as a model where £212m was spent on rehabilitating criminals.
But only 7 years later, the prison has gained another reputation, as the epicenter of a sex scandal involving the prison service.
Last year no fewer than 18 women working at the 2,100-capacity category C 'super-jail' for adult men were sacked or resigned after breaking rules on relations with prisoners.
One such case is that of probation officer Ayshea Gunn, who exchanged more than 1,200 phone calls, including video calls, with inmate Khuram Razaq.
Likewise, a fellow officer, Emily Watson, performed a sexual act with an inmate in his cell on Christmas Day.
Last month two female prison staff appeared at Bolton Crown Court accused of having affairs with the same inmate at the same time. Aleesha Bates, 30, and Jodie Wilkes, 27, exchanged thousands of messages with an inmate.
Prison officer Bates was the first to start a relationship with an inmate accused of drug trafficking.
She was so fascinated that she started messaging him and sending him nude photos. She even planned that after he was released they would have a relationship together.
The second relationship, with operational support worker Wilkes, came to light in 2020 when a contraband phone containing dozens of messages was found in the prisoner's cell./ Daily Mail
