Prison chaplains are supposed to bring comfort to inmates during their journey of personal reflection while in the clink. But if you can also financially assist inmates in these tough economic times, you're really doing the Lord's work. 70-year-old deacon Frank DeTucci was arrested yesterday for attempting to pay a male inmate to perform oral sex. According to the Daily News, authorities in the Queensboro Correctional Facility found DeTucci "kneeling…in front of the prisoner," in his office and later discovered "$200 in his shoe and another $153 in his wallet." He admitted to paying the same inmate $270 for oral sex on two separate occasions.
DeTucci has been a prison chaplain for 27 years, and according to the Post makes an annual salary of $79,819 (or roughly 600 blowjobs at the going rate) and is affiliated with Our Lady of Mount Carmel in Astoria. A spokesman from the prison said DeTucci would be placed on leave without pay. The deacon was charged with "official misconduct, engaging in a criminal sex act and sexual misconduct." At least he brought cash and not razor blades!
