The Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) Dublin, a women's prison in California known for staff-on-inmate sexual abuse, is facing a planned closure. However, before the closure takes place, authorities are conducting a thorough review of each inmate's status to determine whether they will be transferred elsewhere or released.
Following the sudden announcement of the closure, a judge has ordered an assessment of the casework for all 605 women held at the main lockup and its adjacent minimum-security camp. A special master has been assigned to oversee the process and ensure that inmates are transferred to the appropriate location, whether it be a Bureau of Prisons (BOP) facility, home confinement, halfway house, or compassionate release.
