Iowa City attorney Leona Durham 37 was accused of sexual misconduct with an inmate at Fort Madison and had her visits halted. A Polk County judge later ruled the prison erred in barring visits while noting she violated conduct rules. Durham, who had previously represented John Barrett at Fort Madison, kissed Barrett on the cheek during a June jail visit and was allowed to return as coattorney after a hand written order. Barrett was convicted in Polk County and moved to Fort Madison.
