OAKLAND — A group of people who spent time incarcerated at FCI Dublin have sued the now infamous all women federal prison, alleging that the ongoing sexual abuse scandal there came as a result of prison officials missing or flat-out ignoring warning signs for decades.

The suit, led by the California Coalition for Women Prisoners, alleges that sexual assault has long been a rampant problem at FCI Dublin, but that those responsible were able to avoid serious consequences until recently. In addition to the CCWP — a nonprofit that advocates for education over incarceration — eight alleged sexual assault victims are listed as the plaintiffs.

The suit accuses the Bureau of Prisons of failing to do enough to prevent sexual abuse at the prison, despite serious incidents going back to the 1990s. And it notes that when authorities finally started investigating the crimes, it was the FBI and Department of Justice, not the Bureau of Prisons, that led the probe.
