SEX IN THE JAILHOUSE... 
...that's the story behind an appellate opinion from the U.S. Army Court of Criminal Appeals. Sergeant Brooke J. Ritter was convicted of multiple counts of wire fraud, bank fraud, dereliction of duty, and sodomy. Turns out she was a plumber at the U.S. Disciplinary Barracks in charge of a work detail. She struck a fancy with one of the inmates, and began a sexual relationship inside the D.B. Upon his release, she went AWOL for two days and shacked up with him in a Kansas City hotel. Read the gory details here.
