California Women's Prison to Close Amid Sex Abuse Scandals

The Federal Correctional Institution in Dublin, California, known for rampant sexual abuse of female inmates, will be closed following a series of scandals involving correctional officers and the former warden. The closure comes after an FBI investigation resulted in arrests and convictions of employees for sexually abusing inmates. The decision to close the facility was announced by the head of the Federal Bureau of Prisons, who stated that the prison did not meet expected standards despite efforts to address employee misconduct and other issues. Inmates will be transferred to other facilities, and no employees will lose their jobs due to the closure. The closure marks a significant development in a long-standing scandal surrounding the prison's culture of sexual abuse.
