The Federal Bureau of Prisons has announced the closure of the Federal Correctional Institution in Dublin, California, known as the 'rape club' due to rampant sexual abuse against inmates. The decision comes after years of scandal and failed attempts to address the abusive culture. Inmates will be transferred to prisons across the U.S., sparking controversy and legal battles over the mass transfer.
"We see this as a huge evasion of accountability. While we support prison closure, the way this closure is happening is deeply harmful to people inside," one advocate from The California Coalition for Women Prisoners said. https://t.co/ymhzibINaI https://t.co/ymhzibINaI
