A U.S. District Judge has mandated third-party oversight for the Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) Dublin, a federal women's prison in East Bay, California, following a series of sexual misconduct scandals. This decision, described by some as addressing a 'dysfunctional mess,' comes in the wake of 63 individual lawsuits and a class action lawsuit highlighting ongoing abuse and retaliation against inmates. The appointment of a so-called 'special master' to oversee the institution marks a first for the Federal Bureau of Prisons, indicating the severity of the misconduct and the need for external intervention to ensure the safety and rights of the inmates are protected.
