"California Women's Prison to Close Amid Sex Abuse Scandal"

The federal Bureau of Prisons plans to close FCI Dublin, a women's prison in California known for rampant staff-on-inmate sexual abuse and hazardous conditions, despite efforts to reform the facility. Advocates have called for inmates to be freed from the prison, which has faced scrutiny and legal action following an AP investigation in 2021. At least eight FCI Dublin employees have been charged with sexually abusing inmates since 2021, and inmates continue to face retaliation for reporting abuse.
