A judge will appoint a special master to oversee a federal women's prison in California known for rampant sexual abuse against inmates.
FILE - An official walks toward an entrance to the Federal Correctional Institution in Dublin, Calif., March 11, 2024. A judge on Friday, March 15, appointed a special master to oversee the federal prison dubbed the"rape club" by prisoners and workers alike in the San Francisco Bay Area. The judge's order encompasses the prison in Dublin, located about 21 miles east of Oakland.
Rogers wrote that “in making this extraordinary decision, the Court grounds itself in BOP’s repeated failure to ensure that the extraordinary history of this facility is never repeated.” Many of the inmates told her that they did not fear sexual misconduct and said “no” when asked if it was still prevalent at the prison, Rogers wrote. Still, the plaintiffs in the August lawsuit have “presented incidents of sexual misconduct that occurred as recently as November of 2023.”
