Director of Local Prison Arrested for Having Sex with Inmate

The director of education at a local prison has been taken into custody for having sex with an inmate following an investigation by the West Virginia State Police.

Standley Greene, 40, of Charleston, was arrested by Cpl. C.K. Zerkle Tuesday in the Mason County Magistrate Court, where he had gone to turn himself in after a warrant was issued for his arrest, according to Sgt. E.B. Starcher, detachment commander.

Greene faces a charge of sexual intercourse with an incarcerated person.

He appeared before Magistrate Cheryl Ross along with his attorney and posted a $5,000 bond through a bail bondsman.

On Aug. 22, Greene allegedly had sexual relations with an inmate at the Lakin Correctional Facility for Women, where he is employed as the director of education. According to the complaint, the inmate was in Greene’s office at the facility, which is where the alleged encounter took place.

The Mason County Detachment of the West Virginia State Police was contacted by Warden Adrian Hoke after he learned of the encounter.

Senior Trooper J.K. Cox then began a six-week investigation, which resulted in submitting an application for an arrest warrant.

According to state law, any person who is employed at a correctional facility is not allowed to have any sexual relations with an inmate and can be found guilty of a felony.

I have only one comment. How come this guy had a warrant for his arrest but the guy that was doing same thing with two different inmates didnt get arrested. He was only fired from his job and is running free.
