A federal women’s prison in California has been the subject of a landmark $116 million settlement awarded to 100 survivors incarcerated at the Federal Correctional Institute in Dublin. Ten former employees of the now-defunct correctional facility have had their cases fully resolved, the final being prison medic Jeffrey Wilson, 32, who was finally handed a sentence.
According to The California Post, out of the 10 former prison employees who were charged, nine were convicted. The one prison employee who beat his charge, Darrell Wayne Smith — incidentally known to inmates as “Dirty Dick” — wasn’t necessarily found innocent; rather, after two mistrials, his case was dismissed by the court.
