All the votes are in for the most interesting Corrections1 photo of 2010, and it was a landslide victory for the top photo. With 49 percent of the vote, the most interesting photo from 2010, according to Corrections1 members, came from the story of 21-year-old Jessie Lunderby, an Arkansas corrections officer who got into trouble after appearing nude on Playboy.com.

Second in line behind the picture of Lunderby in her birthday suit was the recent photo of Oklahoma inmate Justin L. Walker, who made the news in early December last year by posting pictures of himself smoking marijuana inside his cell to his Facebook page. The photo of Walker earned only 16 percent of the vote.

And in third place, with a measly 9.5 percent of member votes, was the photo of the Utah firing squad chair used in the execution of Ronnie Lee Gardner. He was the third person executed by firing squad in Utah – or anywhere else in the U.S. – since the death penalty was reinstated in 1976.

Here are the top three pictures one more time.
