FBI Raided Women's Prison In Dublin, CA Where Inmates Were Sexually Abused.

Woah 😳 TheAlpenaNews 3/12/24: Federal investigators on Monday again searched a troubled women’s prison in California, seizing computers and documents in an apparent escalation of a yearslong sexual abuse investigation that previously led to charges against a former warden and other employees.

More than a dozen FBI agents were at the Federal Correctional Institution at Dublin, a person familiar with the matter told the Associated Press. The warden, an associate warden and a captain were removed from the facility, said the person, who was not authorized to speak publicly and did so on the condition of anonymity.

Monday’s search came days after a new wave of civil lawsuits alleging abuse at FCI Dublin and as a federal judge weighs appointing a special master to oversee the prison’s operations. It’s the latest cloud over the low-security facility about 21 miles (34 kilometers) east of Oakland.
