"We were sentenced to prison, we were not sentenced to be assaulted and abused," lawsuit plaintiff and former Dublin prisoner Aimee Chavira said.
"I hope this settlement will help survivors, like me, as they begin to heal - but money will not repair the harm that BOP did to us, or free survivors who continue to suffer in prison, or bring back survivors who were deported and separated from their families," Chavira said.
The Bureau of Prisons acknowledged the settlements in a statement Tuesday, condemning sexually abusive behavior and affirming its duty to protect individuals in custody and the community.
This settlement marks an initial wave of lawsuits seeking monetary compensation from the Bureau of Prisons after several employees at FCI Dublin were convicted of sexual abuse.
