The State Appeal Board has approved a $1.65 million settlement with a former Iowa State Penitentiary correctional officer who says state officials discriminated against her after she complained about inmates watching graphic movies. Sink, who worked at the state penitentiary in Fort Madison from 2002 through 2016, also received a $2 million jury award last year for a related lawsuit.
