An Idaho corrections officer has been arrested for having sexual trysts with an inmate incarcerated at a maximum security prison.
Miranda Ackerman, 29, was charged with having with one felony count of sexual contact with an inmate and one misdemeanor count possessing unlawful contraband.
She turned herself into police at the Ada County Sheriff's Office last Friday after a warrant was put out for her arrest.
Ackerman, who is a resident of Nampa, is accused of having sex with the male felon at the Idaho Maximum Security Institution on multiple occasions between February 9 and March 9.
Ackerman was an employee at the facility at the time. She tended her resignation in early April.
Prosecutors believe the sex acts occurred in an area of the jail where inmates usually get their hair cut.
She is also accused of giving the prisoner explicit images of herself, which counts as 'contraband'.
According to The Idaho Press, Ackerman went by the name of Miranda Jefferds whilst she was working at the prison.
The Idaho Department of Corrections began investigating Ackerman shortly after she resigned.
It's unclear as to how they learned of the alleged sexual trysts, but they interviewed her in April.
On Friday, more than six weeks after that interview, Ackerman was booked at the Ada County Sheriff's Department.
She was released on her own recognizance and is scheduled to appear in court at a later date.
The trysts are alleged to have taken place at the Idaho Maximum Security Institution on multiple occasions between February 9 and March 9
