• The federal Bureau of Prisons is permanently closing the notorious "rape club" women's prison in Dublin and will idle six facilities in a sweeping realignment after years of abuse, decay and mismanagement.

The U.S. government has decided to close the Federal Correctional Institution in Dublin, California, following years of reported sexual abuse by prison staff. This decision comes after multiple investigations and legal actions, including a special investigation by the FBI and the conviction of several former employees for sexual abuse. The facility, known for housing women, has been under scrutiny for its toxic culture and failure to protect inmates from predatory behavior. The Bureau of Prisons has initiated the transfer of approximately 600 female inmates to other facilities, with the closure process expected to take several months. This move aims to address the systemic issues of abuse and mismanagement at the prison, which has been criticized for its handling of sexual misconduct allegations.
