Kawana Jenkins’ romance with an inmate was exposed following a shakedown of the maximum security wing of the Fulton County Jail. Jenkins, a detention officer with Fulton County Sheriff’s Office since December 2019, was fired and detained.
The shakedown netted eleven cell phones and weapons. In one of the phones, investigators found a video of Jenkins sitting on an inmate’s lap and kissing him. A clip of Jenkins licking the inmate’s finger in a sexually suggestive manner has gone viral on social media.
