California Women's Federal Prison Infamous for Sexual Abuse to Close

The women's-only federal prison in California, where stars like Lori Loughlin and Felicity Huffman served time, is set to close due to rampant sexual abuse faced by inmates from staff. The Federal Correctional Institution in Dublin has begun moving supplies out in anticipation of the closure, with all 605 inmates to be transferred to other prisons. The decision comes after ongoing issues of employee misconduct and illegal behavior, including multiple staff members being convicted of sexually abusing inmates. The closure has been met with criticism and legal action from inmates and their representatives, who argue that the prison has failed to meet constitutional standards for safety and call for alternative solutions for the affected women.
