"The Justice Department announced that it will investigate allegations of sexual assaults, rape, voyeurism, and a pervasive climate of sexual intimidation due to the presence of males in the women's prison."
"Assistant Atty. Gen. Harmeet Dhillon stated that the investigations are part of a new project called the 'single sex prisons initiative' to look for potential civil rights violations."
The U.S. Department of Justice has initiated investigations into two California women's prisons to assess allegations of unconstitutional housing and preferential treatment of biological male prisoners. The inquiry will focus on claims of rights deprivation for female inmates, including reports of sexual assaults and intimidation linked to the presence of male inmates. Additionally, an investigation is underway in Maine regarding a biological male inmate's housing with women despite allegations of harassment and assault against female inmates.
