Three former residents of a juvenile detention center in Delaware County have filed a lawsuit against the county, alleging sexual abuse by staff members. The closure and transfer of individuals from FCI Dublin led to chaos, exposing survivors of sexual abuse to new trauma, according to an op-ed. The writer argues that the Department of Justice and Bureau of Prisons should take action to release survivors of sex abuse from the now-closed Dublin facility.
OPINION: "The Justice Department and Bureau of Prisons have the legal authority and the moral duty to initiate compassionate release motions on behalf of Dublin survivors and should do so now," writes Shanna Rifkin, deputy general counsel at FAMM. https://t.co/mxHvnssF26
