The officers were dismissed, according to Holder, after an internal investigation revealed that one of the two men had taken nude photos of three female inmates and the other had knowledge of the photos and did not report it to the sheriff.
Christopher S. Whitfield, a part-time officer, took the nude photos, according to the statement. Alen Powell had knowledge of the photos, according to the statement.

TO Momma 74... A role model whose name is mentioned in school? You sound like you have some praise for this degrader of women! Abuse by people that represent positions of trust ( priests, jailers etc ) is beyond belief. The man would no doubt photograph your students after a school function given the chance. The word that really comes to mind is perverted and the proof no doubt in the pictures.

HEAD BEARS RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS BREACH OF SAFETY AND SECURITY STANDARDS, WHERE, WHAT, WHEN AND HOW DID THE CAMERA (CELLPHONE?) HAVE THE ABILITY TO BE BROUGHT INTO THE FACILITY IE: CONTRABAND, THERES A LOT OF ????`S HERE. CORRECTIONS OFFICERS ARE THERE TO PROTECT THE PUBLIC FROM THE INMATES AND AS WELL PROTECT AND LOOK OUT FOR THE SAFETY AND WELL BEING OF THE INMATES WHILE THEY ARE IN CUSTODY.

they should go to jail but you watch they will get out of it they are above the law in there books
I really hate to hear that about Chris. He has been a role model for our area young for a long time. I have heard his named metioned at school functions in the past. This really breaks my heart......I hope for him its just not true....... So you know I am behind you man! Hang in there.
