Abuse at Central California Women's Prisons
A 2024 lawsuit alleges many former inmates at women’s prisons in Central California were victims of sexual abuse at the hands of the prison staff. In September 2024, the Justice Department announced an investigation into these facilities.
Sexual abuse claims may include:
• Skin to skin contact with bare genitals or female breasts.
• Penetration of any kind by non-medical personnel (Guard, Officers, Warden, etc)
• Oral copulate or coerced oral copulation
• More
In addition to sexual abuse, inmates have allegedly been subjected to threats and intimidation, both physical and verbal, in order to prevent them from reporting wrongdoing. This behavior by prison staff further silenced victims. The investigation is currently focused on claims related to abuse at Central California Women’s Facility in Chowchilla (CCWF), California Institution for Women in Chino (CIW) and the Valley State Prison for Women (VSPW) – a facility that was women-only until 2013.
