New job bares all, but past closely guarded
Alicia Davis left her job as a prison guard to embark on a career in porn, but found her past is following her into her new X-rated career.
The 31-year-old worked as a prison guard at a medium-security men’s prison, bringing home about $1100 per week.
The Gold Coast local said it was a crash course in learning to “hold your ground” and she was well-respected by the prisoners.
“Most of the time they were pretty well-behaved, but you do get the occasional inmate trying to show off in front of their friends,” she said. “I don’t blame them, it’s a testosteronefuelled environment, but it’s important as a female prison guard to hold your ground and remind them who’s in charge.”
When she decided to embark on a career in porn she quit her job because she knew it would be “highly inappropriate” to juggle both.
She’s now built up an online following and can earn more than $10,000 in a single week, but there’s been one tricky component to her success.
Former inmates have frequently found her online and sent her messages, which is something Ms Davis doesn’t want to deal with.
She said that if she ever got contacted by a former prisoner it was always an immediate “hell no”.
Once, Ms Davis was chatting to a customer online when suddenly things took an unexpected turn.
“They asked me for a custom video, which I was happy to do until they said, ‘You probably know who I am, right? I just got out of prison’,” she said.
Once he revealed his identity, he demanded that she put on her old prison guard uniform and strip.

It was not a fantasy Ms Davis was willing to entertain.
“I just feel I have so much respect for the work I used to do,” she said.
“It was just highly inappropriate.”
She feels so passionate about it that she won’t even have a conversation with former inmates – she’ll just immediately block them.
“I don’t give them the option, I just immediately disengage and block them immediately. I’m sure they’d get it,” she said.
Similarly, another customer requested a private call, but she recognised the person’s name as an inmate she’d met.
“I recognised him as one of the jail’s most well-known prisoners from my time working there,” she said.
However, she takes a much more liberal approach to former co-workers.
“I’ve probably had five former colleagues on my page as well,” she said. “They buy some content, and we chat every now and again. Sometimes it takes people I know in my personal life a while before they reveal who they really are, but there’s no judgment from me.”
