A former prison psychologist has been sentenced to 90 days in jail or on a work-release program after she admitted having sex with a state prison inmate. Marilyn Windham pleaded guilty in December to a felony charge of having sex with a male inmate at the Folsom prison in June 2005.
Her attorney says she will spend no time behind bars if she is allowed to provide psychiatric services for a Sacramento County agency as part of the sheriff's work program.
She will have to provide counseling services that do not require a state license, however, because the state Board of Psychology suspended her license and may revoke it.
Windham resigned her job at California State Prison, Sacramento, about a month after the incident.
Documenting Psychiatrists Behaving Badly
Of all professions, psychiatrists seem to get into the most trouble. I have been collecting stories about psychiatric screwups for a while. Sadly, it has been disgustingly easy to do. We post stories with links to the original sources. We couldn't make this stuff up if we wanted to. My Name is Sickmind Fraud.
