Federal Bureau of Prisons Faces Trial Over Sexual Abuse at Closed California Facility

Judge orders trial to address allegations of widespread abuse and cover-ups at FCI Dublin, with both sides preparing for a June 2025 court date.

The lawsuit alleges systemic sexual abuse by guards and retaliation against inmates who reported it.
FCI Dublin was shut down following an investigation that exposed rampant staff-on-inmate assaults.
A special master has been appointed to oversee the cases of 600 women transferred from the facility.
Settlement discussions are ongoing, with plaintiffs seeking lasting reforms including medical and mental health care.
The trial is set to begin on June 23, 2025, with a case management conference scheduled for September.
