The groups argued that previously sealed documents should be made public because concerns over security are irrelevant now that FCI Dublin is closed.
Two advocacy groups on Wednesday asked a judge to unseal court records and preserve public access to hearings in the class action lawsuit against the federal Bureau of Prisons over the sexual abuse of incarcerated women at a now-shuttered California prison.
The legal nonprofit Public Justice and the ACLU of Northern California jointly filed a motion for increased transparency in the case, which is set for trial next June.Advocates call for women inmates to be released instead of transferred from embattled Dublin prison In addition, the court has "granted numerous motions to seal records in the case and many of the motions themselves are under seal, leaving the public and the press in the dark," the statement said.
