Overview

• Former officers Jeffrey Wilson and Lawrence Gacad were charged with multiple counts of sexual abuse of a ward for alleged incidents between March and August 2022
• The two new indictments raise the number of Bureau of Prisons employees accused of abusing inmates at FCI Dublin to ten, the highest for any federal facility
• Seven correctional staff, including former Warden Ray Garcia, have been convicted and imprisoned, while Darrell Smith’s retrial is set for August after a mistrial in April
• The prison closed in April 2024, and its roughly 600 inmates have since been released or transferred to other facilities
• Advocates are calling for decarceration and stronger oversight to prevent similar abuses across the federal prison system
