The arrest of Jean, who is accused of giving a prisoner a cellphone and sending him nude pictures of herself, came after three detention deputies were arrested in December for allegedly giving out forbidden items as part of sexual relationships or in exchange for money.

Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Dani Moschella said Jean was a nurse with Armor Correctional Health Services, which contracts with the jail.

Jean was charged with introducing contraband into a jail facility and use of a cellphone to facilitate a felony. She was taken to the Paul Rein Detention Facility in Pompano Beach in lieu of $75,000 bail.
