Posing erotically on the Internet has cost prison guard Marcie Betts her job – after only a week among the inmates, despite her argument that she posed for the pictures before she was hired.
Washington's local ABC News outlet, WJLA, said Betts and her attorney are appealing the firing on grounds it violated her First Amendment rights to free expression. Prison officials said only that Betts was a provisional worker who could be fired for any reason, the station added.
Betts told reporters she never showed the photos to any of the male inmates she supervised, and they didn't compromise her ability to do her job.
