Over the past several years, people incarcerated at FCI Dublin started speaking out about ongoing sexual, physical, and psychological abuse by prison staff.

FCI Dublin became the center of a massive criminal investigation, Congressional inquiries, and national press. Eight Dublin officials were charged with sexually abusing people in their custody, including the Warden and the Chaplain.

In August 2023 eight survivors of staff sexual abuse and retaliation at FCI Dublin and the California Coalition for Women Prisoners (CCWP) filed a class action lawsuit in Federal Court in Oakland. In April 5, 2024 Judge Gonzalez Rogers appointed a Special Master, Wendy Still, to oversee continuing abuse and retaliation at the prison.  On April 15, 2024 the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) abruptly ordered the closure of Dublin prison and proceeded to transfer all incarcerated people to prisons around the country, far away from their families and advocates who supported them.

Hear the stories of what happened at Dublin from formerly incarcerated survivors, learn about the ongoing lawsuit and the Dublin Prison Solidarity Coalition, and find out how you can become involved in supporting this groundbreaking struggle.
