Teacher resigns after she was caught having explicit video calls with prison inmate boyfriend during school hours (photos)

A Florida, USA teacher resigned after the local sheriff’s office discovered she had been engaging in explicit video chats with her prison inmate boyfriend during school hours.

Donna Barber, 52, was informed she would be sacked from her job in the Franklin County School District for her actions, but instead elected to step down this week. She was close to retirement after working as a teacher for nearly 30 years.

Earlier in January, Franklin County Sheriff A.J. Smith assigned a staffer to monitor the video chats of inmates at the local prison.

The staffer found that Barber was undressing during some of her calls with inmate Lawrence Ray and had engaged in sexual conversation with him.

A review of the couple’s previous video calls showed Barber was having similar explicit video conversations with Ray and that some were done from her school office during the workday.

“Jail is not a resort,” Smith told the New York Post. “People in jail need to abide by the rules, you have to have order. Otherwise, you can have chaos, and it can be dangerous for the staff that has to deal with the inmates.”

The local state attorney said there that the case did not warrant criminal charges, but Barber’s school began investigating the matter after Smith released the video.

Smith noted that prison video calls have become more common in recent years because they require less staffing than in-person visits.

The school was originally unaware that the calls occurred on campus and later widened its probe after finding out. Barber was told this week that the school board would recommend termination, so she decided to resign.

People who engage in video chats with an inmate are required to agree to the prison’s rules, including that the conversation may be monitored or recorded and that illegal or inappropriate conduct, such as indecent exposure, will not be permitted.

Video may also be stopped at any time by the employees monitoring the calls if they consider them to have become inappropriate.
