Inmate Convicted Of Indecent Exposure For Masturbating In Cell

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- A Broward County jail inmate was convicted of indecent exposure after a guard complained that he had masturbated in his cell.

A jury took 45 minutes to convict Terry Lee Alexander, 20, of the misdemeanor on Wednesday. Judge Fred Berman sentenced him to 60 days in the county jail. He had faced up to a year.

In November, Deputy Coryus Veal, who was monitoring Alexander's cell from a centrally located control room, saw him masturbating while he was sitting on his bunk, alone in his cell.

Veal testified that she brought the charge against him the third time he masturbated in view of her.

Alexander had been waiting in jail to resolve an armed robbery case. Twelve days after the incident, Alexander pleaded guilty to the armed robbery and got a 10-year prison sentence.

The sheriff's office encourages deputies to file criminal charges to discourage masturbating in the county's jails, said Elliot Cohen, an agency spokesman. He said privacy is one of the rights inmate give up in jail.

3. That makes no sense.

Only in FL. Some prisons still have conjugal visits - I'm sure they're not sitting there talking about the weather! I'd rather have them masturbating in a cell than raping someone in the shower.
