Prisons near ports and airports in England and Wales are struggling to retain staff because so many are leaving for “less stressful” jobs in the Border Force.
Younger members of staff are also quitting because they do not like being without their mobile phones all day, according to senior prison officers.
Charlie Taylor, the chief inspector of prisons, said those in south-east England were under pressure to retain staff because of recruitment drives from the Border Force and police.
Around 10,000 people work for the Border Force, with most in frontline roles at airports and seaports across the UK and overseas.
Taylor said: “What we’re seeing now, particularly in places such as Kent, Surrey, Sussex, we’re seeing people being lost, or certainly under pressure from Border Force and these sorts of organisations.
Dr Radha Kothari, the lead clinical psychologist at Feltham young offender institution in west London, said many officers there were quitting for jobs with the Border Force at nearby Heathrow.
