Summary

The U.S. government will pay $116 million to over 100 women who experienced rampant sexual abuse at the now-closed FCI Dublin prison in California, known as the “rape club.”

Settlements average $1.1 million per plaintiff and follow lawsuits revealing systemic abuse and cover-ups by staff, including former warden Ray Garcia, who is now imprisoned.

The Bureau of Prisons will also implement reforms under a class-action settlement, including external monitoring and public acknowledgment of abuse.

This marks a critical step toward accountability in addressing widespread prison misconduct nationwide.

Well what’s the point of putting women in prison if you can’t exercise your power over them sexually? Duh! 🙄
