District-court judges have repeatedly used #NationwideInjunctions to block #Trump admin policies, including to halt the #MassFirings of civil servants, the defunding of #ForeignAid & the relocation of #transgender women in #FederalPrisons to men’s housing. Some of those injunctions have been lifted by higher courts; many, including those detailed below, remain in place, …for now.

FCI Dublin prison closure: Women describe horrific journey across U.S.

DUBLIN, Calif. - Dozens of women have shared horrific-sounding bus rides to prisons across the country as the Bureau of Prisons abruptly shut down FCI Dublin last week. Most report that they are getting blamed for the closure because they used their voice to complain about sexual abuse at the East Bay facility.

Chaotic Dublin prison closure leads to fighting, crying, cutting, inmates say.

“I understand that we’re criminals,” one inmate says. “But we’re still human beings.”

Ex-correctional officer charged with sexually abusing 3 inmates in California federal prison cells - and he’s just the tip of the iceberg. Even the prison chaplain at this facility has plead guilty to abuse - in the prison CHAPEL. I was taught the three guiding principals of the justice system are: retribution, deterrence and rehabilitation. We send convicts to prison as retribution for their crimes, to deter them and others from committing the same crimes, and importantly, to rehabilitate the offenders so they can successfully re-enter society as productive and safe citizens. Abusing inmates for personal sexual gratification is NOT on that list. #prisons #FederalPrisons #incarcerations #jail #legal #prisonersrights https://apnews.com/95b4ab563c1983c77a65a743e534968a
