A former staff member at a private juvenile corrections center in Mountain Home received a suspended jail sentence and two year's probation in a case involving inappropriate behavior with an inmate at the facility.

During her appearance in district court Monday morning, Stephanie L. Hoagland also agreed to pay more than $500 in fines and legal fees and is prohibited from having contact with anyone under the age of 18 with the exception of her family members.

This is were justice is BLIND, DEAF, and DUMB. Who said the justice system is fair; if she was a guy she would have got some serious time. She sould have to atleast register as a preditor/sex offender.
