Just because you can't dress up sexy to visit Rikers Island anymore doesn't mean you can't get frisky if you work there instead. A female corrections officer was just busted for having sex with a male inmate...again.
The lady officers at Rikers have a storied history of hooking up with their charges, so really, Andrea Buchanan was just taking part in a longstanding tradition. Buchanan, who worked at Rikers for six years, was arrested and charged with sexual misconduct, forcible touching, and official misconduct for her alleged tryst with an inmate at the Eric M. Taylor Center last month. She was suspended without pay from her $76,488-a-year-job. Hear that, gentlemen golddiggers? Rikers Island is the place to be to snag yourself a gainfully employed, sex-starved woman. Hop to it!
