Akira Jones joined the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office in Memphis, Tennessee, as a corrections deputy in May 2023.
According to officials who spoke to the New York Post, a thorough internal investigation that spanned several weeks led to her arrest on February 6th.
It is alleged that during her time as an officer, she became romantically involved with one of the inmates at the main county jail, commonly referred to as 201 Poplar.
The issue came to light in December when a complaint was lodged against Akira regarding the nature of her relationship.
As a result, she was immediately placed on leave, while the sheriff’s office initiated a criminal investigation.

After the conclusion of the investigation, Akira was arrested and charged with a felony for engaging in sexual contact with prisoners.
The sheriff’s office underlines that any form of sexual contact between its personnel and inmates is strictly prohibited by law and policy.
Although the sheriff’s office did not disclose the gender of the prisoner involved in this illicit affair, their official website states that “male inmates are housed in downtown Memphis at 201 Poplar Avenue.”
