The rampant sexual assault at FCI Dublin has convinced a federal judge to order a form of unprecedented oversight women’s prison.
OAKLAND — The Dublin federal prison that’s become synonymous with rampant sexual harassment and rape will now be subjected to a new form of oversight unprecedented in the Bureau of Prisons system.
“The Federal Correctional Institute Dublin is a dysfunctional mess,” Gonzalez Rogers wrote in her order. “The situation can no longer be tolerated. The facility is in dire need of immediate change.” The next step is for plaintiffs’ attorneys and attorneys for the defendants to choose five potential people to serve as special master. At a hearing set two weeks from now, the lawyers will each be able to veto three of the other side’s five choices. Gonzalez Rogers will then pick one from the remaining four candidates.
