Overview
- 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.
