Former Chicago Correctional Officer Indicted for Sexual Abuse of Inmates

Brittany Hall faces federal charges for allegedly abusing four female detainees at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in December 2023.

Brittany Hall, 31, a former federal correctional officer, has been indicted on charges of sexually abusing four female inmates at Chicago's Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC).
The alleged incidents occurred in December 2023 while Hall was assigned to supervise the female unit on the 12th floor of the MCC.
The indictment includes five counts of sexual abuse of a ward, each carrying a potential sentence of up to 15 years in federal prison, and three counts of abusive sexual contact, each punishable by up to two years.
Court documents allege Hall engaged in inappropriate sexual contact with the inmates, including touching, penetration, and oral contact, while in a position of authority over them.
Hall resigned from the Bureau of Prisons in 2024 and is scheduled for arraignment today before U.S. Magistrate Judge Heather K. McShain in Chicago.
