The FBI action signals a potential new front in the investigation into alleged rape and sexual misconduct by prison staff.
FBI personnel exit the FCI Dublin federal women’s prison on Monday, March 11, 2024, in Dublin, Calif. DUBLIN — The warden of FCI Dublin women’s prison was ousted amid an FBI raid at the troubled facility on Monday, signaling a potential new front on the years-long investigation into allegations of rape and sexual misconduct by prison staff.
Kara Janssen, an attorney representing inmates at the facility, assailed federal prison officials Monday for not taking action earlier. “It’s an incredibly difficult place for people to be living every single day,” Janssen said. “And I just hope we can get relief for them soon, because they have no choice but to be there.”to oversee the scandal-plagued prison. And it follows a decision by federal prison officials to place numerous employees at the prison — including at least one prison captain charged with overseeing guards’ adherence to policies — on leave over the past two months, according to court filings.
The same court filing says at least seven more prison staff members have been placed on leave since the evidentiary hearing ended on Jan. 9, including two officers who were “walked off” after being accused of sexual misconduct during a hearing on Jan. 26.
