The suits charge that these acts violate the U.S. Constitution’s Eighth Amendment protection against cruel and unusual punishment as well as California state law against gender violence, invasion of privacy and sexual assault.
The abuse described stretched as far back as 2014 and as recently as November 2022. “This is a cultural problem,” Beaty stated. “It’s not about individual officers.”In 2003, the federal government passed the Prison Rape Elimination Act , which prohibits sexual contact between staff and incarcerated people. It also requires jails and prisons to have clear reporting mechanisms.
Some employees named in these lawsuits are not facing charges in criminal court. The Bureau of Prisons confirmed that at least seven are still employed by the Federal Bureau of Prisons, but declined to state who had been placed on administrative leave pending investigation and who was currently working inside Dublin.
On the same day that the U.S. Attorney’s Office submitted their memo, the entire prison was locked down for nine hours while the FBI carted away computers and boxes of documents. “No matter how many ‘new’ or ‘interim’ wardens the DOJ-BOP sends, they are all the same. All wardens had the same training, to be abusive to inmates, to lie to inmates, the court and the public,” Fleming told. “These people are retaliating against anyone that participates or cooperates in litigation against them, files grievances or lawsuits.”
