ACTS LAW’s Doug Rochen currently represents more than 1,000 men and women who have been subjected to sexual abuse, sexual assault and sexual harassment while incarcerated in jails and prisons throughout California.
Recently, the Federal Correctional Institution in Dublin is facing closure over allegations of similar types of behavior, with matters so bad it was known as a “rape club” by inmates and workers.
“The racial and class inequity that leads to women being imprisoned has never been addressed in our state,” Mr. Rochen said. “In the FCI Dublin institution, inmates were subjected to all manner of horrific sexual crimes on a daily basis. This is something that should have been stopped and fixed decades ago, and there are likely thousands of women who suffered sexual abuse and assault at FCI Dublin.”
With a long history of sex crimes against women, FCI Dublin saw a correctional officer sentenced to 72 months in prison recently for his crimes of sexually abusing five female inmates. He was the supervisor of the call center operated by the federal prison, where these women worked.
“In our prison abuse cases, we’ve seen women treated worse than animals,” Mr. Rochen added. “This disgusting behavior happens at prisons throughout the state, and these women deserve justice for the crimes they’ve suffered.”
