Mysterious skin spots, burst capillaries and bothersome rashes have begun to appear on dozens of incarcerated women at the Federal Correctional Institute at Dublin – another scourge at the scandal-plagued prison, better known for sexual abuse and retaliation.

Up to 40 women have reported the skin issues, according to information gleaned from court filings and Laura Russell, 66, who wrote KTVU a letter to document what she is going through."We are breaking out with what looks like various sizes, color and numbers of red spots," she wrote. "Some are small, like a fine point red marker. Others are big and red like a broken capillary." Russell said she has these spots on her stomach, forehead and back.

She was sentenced to 40 months in prison for conspiring to commit money laundering. She told KTVU that a nurse came to examine her and diagnosed her with age spots or cherry hemangioma. She said other women have been told they have "sweat spots" and one was told "you scratched a pimple." A nurse told one woman, "it will be interesting to see if yours goes away when you leave," Russell wrote.
