A Henry County sheriff's deputy and a former deputy have been indicted for perjury by a special grand jury that uncovered numerous instances of misconduct at the Henry County Jail, including sexual contact between officers and inmates -- some of which was so "perverse" it was "outside the scope of criminal law," according to a report.

The fallout could stretch further, the special prosecutor in the case said Wednesday.

While no more indictments will come from that particular special grand jury, more charges related to the investigation aren't out of the question in the future, said Christopher Russell, Buena Vista commonwealth's attorney.

The grand jury's two-year probe into jail operations found a culture of sex, drugs and inappropriate behavior by sheriff's officers stretching back to 1994 that officials didn't do enough to stop, according to a grand jury report made public Monday.

Deputy Glenn Brett Stokes, 39, and former Deputy Mary Lois Markland, 58, were arrested last week in the probe. Each was charged with one count of perjury. Stokes has been suspended without pay pending his trial. Both are scheduled to appear in court Feb. 11 to have an attorney assigned to their cases.

Other crimes committed by sheriff's officers in the jail that holds an average of 173 inmates were either too old or lacked enough evidence to prosecute, the grand jury's report said.

The report details numerous incidents of "unprofessional and criminal conduct" by members of the sheriff's office.

Male correctional officers had "inappropriate sexual and sexually charged contact with female inmates ranging from casual flirtation to carnal knowledge to the "perverse" behavior.

One such incident included a male officer who photographed his genitals while on duty in the jail and then displayed the image to at least one female inmate. He then "delivered to a female inmate a receptacle containing his semen," according to the report.

The grand jury described that incident as "most disturbing."

Markland repeatedly gave inmates cigarettes -- prohibited in the jail -- between 2004 and 2007, which she denied during the investigation, the grand jury said. Stokes testified to some incidents related to sexual contacts but wasn't honest in his testimony about an inmate in the jail, according to the report.

Sheriff Lane Perry said much of the conduct cited by the grand jury occurred before he was appointed sheriff in 2006, when Frank Cassell retired soon after he was indicted on separate corruption charges that also involved a number of sheriff's deputies. Perry was elected to the position in 2007.

The grand jury report said Perry has made "commendable reforms," including installing video cameras in the jail and creating two positions -- a lieutenant of professional standards and an internal affairs sergeant.

"Any issues that have arose, we're dealing with and have made changes," Perry said. "We're trying to be a different administration."

But grand jury members think more needs to be done.

The sheriff's office should improve communication with the commonwealth's attorney's office, seek training to conduct its own internal affairs investigations and review information that other agencies, including the state police, collected, the grand jury said.

In addition to the sex and drug findings, the grand jury took issue with the jail's trusty system, where some inmates are allowed special privileges and more freedom because of good behavior.

The trusties have too much privilege, especially in their access to the jail's control room, the grand jury said.

Access to the control room is not allowed unless a trusty is supervised, cleaning the control room or passing through from a shower area to general population, Perry said.

Perry also defended the inmates' "canteen" funds, where inmates keep their money for things such as food, medical and legal expenses. The grand jury suggested a cap on the amount an inmate can keep to prevent the smuggling of drugs and contraband, and called some accounts "excessive" -- including one that had more than $1,000. Instead of a cap, Perry said there are strict restrictions on how the money can be used and all accounts are audited each year.
