DUBLIN, Calif. – Women who were transferred away from the now-shuttered federal prison in Dublin are continuing to complain they’re being retaliated against at their new facilities in Texas, Minnesota, Miami and Philadelphia, where they say they are not being given jobs that could reduce their sentences and, in one case, had rifles pointed at them to scare them.
The complaints were sent to Catherine Sevcenko, senior counsel at the National Council for Incarcerated & Formerly Incarcerated Women and Girls in New Jersey, a group led by formerly incarcerated Black women.
On Wednesday, Sevcenko shared the emails with KTVU, which has also received similar complaints from FCI Dublin transfers about thief treatment at prisons in SeaTac in Seattle and Kentucky, where women said they were fed inferior meals and denied soap, pillows and clean laundry.
