Most graduation photos capture candidates on the cusp of a promising future, but for one class of cadets at West Virginia's state corrections academy captured performing a Nazi salute, their final class picture marks the end of their careers. Upon seeing the photo, Captain Annette Daniels-Watts presciently said, "Well, that is going to bite us in the [expletive]." Daniels-Watts would later tell department officials at a meeting about the picture, "Do I resign now or what?" Two other instructors who saw the class make the gesture reportedly reprimanded the cadets, believing that ended the issue. The report states that separately, Byrd told the class "she saw nothing wrong with the gesture and allowed it to continue."
