The US Bureau of Prisons has agreed to pay $115 million to over 100 survivors of sexual abuse at FCI Dublin, a historic settlement addressing systemic misconduct.
This settlement marks a significant victory for those advocating against sexual abuse in women’s prisons, highlighting the widespread nature of misconduct in the federal prison system.
Ultimately, the Bureau of Prisons acknowledged its failures by agreeing to this unprecedented payout and the establishment of a consent decree to protect survivors.
The persistent reports of sexual abuse within women’s prisons demonstrate a grave issue within the prison system, with investigations revealing abuse occurring in two-thirds of federal women’s facilities.
