FBI agents raided a federal women’s prison in California plagued by sexual abuse, and a newly hired warden was ousted amid claims of retaliation against an inmate.
FBI agents raided a federal women's prison in California this week so plagued by sexual abuse that it was known among inmates and workers as the 'rape club.' The action coincided with the ouster of the new warden from the federal correctional institution in Dublin. Warden Art Dulgov — just a few months into his tenure — and three other top managers were removed from their positions Monday by the federal Bureau of Prisons.
The raid comes as the number of women who have come forward in lawsuits against guards and staff alleging sexual abuse and retaliation has reached 63. That number, according to attorneys, is expected to surpass 100. No new officials have been charged in the investigation, which has spanned more than three years. It is a crime for any prison employee to have sexual activity with those incarcerated, and those behind bars cannot consent.
