The Federal Bureau of Prisons announced plans to close the Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) Dublin, a women's prison in California, following ongoing issues of staff-on-inmate sexual abuse. The decision to close the facility comes after extensive efforts to reform the troubled prison, which has been dubbed the 'rape club'.
FCI Dublin, located east of Oakland, is one of six women-only federal prisons in the country and currently houses 605 inmates. Despite attempts to address issues such as employee misconduct, hazardous conditions, and inadequate healthcare, the Bureau of Prisons determined that the facility did not meet expected standards.
