CHILLICOTHE, Ohio - A deputy warden at the Ross Correctional Institution was suspended for five days last month after he mistakenly showed inmates a sexually explicit television show.

Andrea Dean, spokeswoman for the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction, said Jeffrey Lisath meant to only record an HBO boxing match but unintentionally taped part of a program that followed it.

Lisath, 45, was suspended because he didn't first submit the tape to a screening committee that approves all home videos shown to inmates, Dean said.

Corrections Officer R.A. Adams wrote in an incident report that he was alerted to the movie by an inmate who asked him, "Why are they showing porn movies to all the rapists and child molesters in here?"

Dean said Lisath would not speak to reporters.

"He thought that he was just doing something for the inmates, giving them an opportunity to see the boxing match," she said. "It was something that was well-intentioned, but it turned into something bad."
