Pinellas jail visitor arrested after visitation gets too explicit [View all]
LARGO — When video visitation with Pinellas County Jail inmates was launched in the late 1990s, some loved ones of the incarcerated complained that conversations conducted via a closed-circuit television screen lacked the intimacy of a face-to-face encounter.
St. Petersburg resident Mitchell Thomas made an apparent effort to breach the technological divide when he visited his wife at the jail Tuesday. But as Thomas promptly learned, the county's video visitation center is no place to go looking for love.
Thomas, 46, was arrested on a misdemeanor charge of exposing his sexual organs after he bared himself to the monitor-image of his wife at about 5:45 p.m. Tuesday, according to the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office.
