Two advocacy groups have taken legal action to unseal court records and ensure public access to hearings in the class action lawsuit against the federal Bureau of Prisons concerning the sexual abuse of incarcerated women at the now-closed FCI Dublin in California.
The Bureau's decision to close FCI Dublin and relocate approximately 600 women came abruptly on April 15, following revelations of widespread staff-on-inmate assaults exposed by an Associated Press investigation. Efforts to reform the facility had been ongoing prior to its closure.
