Prison officer's e-mail inquiry
Prison officials have said an inquiry is under way into allegations that a senior officer at a jail sent an inappropriate e-mail.
The officer, who works at HMP Norwich in Norfolk, has been suspended while the allegations are investigated, a Home Office spokeswoman said.
The spokeswoman said the "inappropriate e-mail" had been sent to someone outside the prison.
The incident happened two weeks ago, but has just been made public.
