FCI Dublin, Notorious for Sexual Abuse, to Close Amid Calls for Decarceration

The closure of FCI Dublin follows decades of reported abuse and failed reforms, sparking demands for inmate releases rather than transfers.

FCI Dublin, known as 'the rape club,' will be shut down after years of systemic sexual abuse and failed oversight.
Despite the closure, there are concerns that transferring inmates to other facilities will not address the underlying issues of abuse and neglect.
Advocates and legal representatives push for decarceration, including home confinement and compassionate release, instead of mere prison transfers.
A federal judge has intervened, ordering a review of each inmate's case before any transfers are made, following the appointment of a special master to oversee the prison.
The Bureau of Prisons faces ongoing scrutiny as it attempts to manage the fallout and ensure inmate safety during the transition.
