It explained that the subcommittee discovered that Bureau of Prisons workers sexually abused female inmates in at least 19 out of the 29 federal jails that have housed women over the past ten years.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The report also discovered that the agency \u201cfailed to prevent, detect, and stop recurring sexual abuse in at least four federal prisons, including abuse by senior prison officials,\u201d noting that the former warden and chaplain at a facility in Dublin, California, both took part in sexually abusing female inmates. Seventeen past or current workers at the facility were being investigated for sexual abuse as of May. Last week, the former warden was convicted on eight criminal charges for his assaults of three female prisoners.<\/p>\n<p>The report announced that the Bureau\u2019s Office of Internal Affairs\u2019 investigative procedures \u201care seriously flawed,\u201d and there are 8,000 internal affairs cases that have piled up. Of those cases, there are \u201cat least hundreds of sexual abuse cases.\u201d The Bureau, it added, did not hold workers responsible for \u201cmisconduct.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Authorities at the Justice Department are thinking about letting female inmates out of prison early who suffered under the warden of the California prison and other employees at the prison.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cI am open to this consideration that is a very complex issue, which is why it\u2019s under pretty significant review,\u201d Bureau of Prisons Director Colette Peters <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/news\/politics\/2022\/12\/13\/sex-assault-survivors-tell-congress-abuse-prison-staffers\/10887465002\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">told<\/a> USA Today this week.\u00a0\u201cI think we\u2019re concerned about consistency, I think we\u2019re concerned about fairness, and so I think that each case is unique.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The New York Times <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2022\/12\/13\/us\/politics\/federal-prison-sexual-abuse.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reported<\/a> that people close to the situation said the Justice Department wants to increase the ability to let abused women out of prison early due to the assaults.<\/p>\n<p>Deputy attorney general Lisa O. Monaco has pushed leaders at the Bureau to put together a list of prisoners who might be able to get out of prison early under the compassionate release program.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Linda De La Rosa was one of the sexual abuse survivors and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/news\/politics\/2022\/12\/13\/sex-assault-survivors-tell-congress-abuse-prison-staffers\/10887465002\/\">testified<\/a> to the committee that her \u201clife was a living hell.\u201d Her abuser is now in prison on a 135-month sentence, but she pointed out that the man had been accused of sexual attacks in the past while he was abusing her. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Briane Moore, who used to be an inmate at a facility in West Virginia explained through tears how a captain raped her several times while saying he could keep her from moving to a prison near her family.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cWhile he was raping me, he was raping other women,\u201d Moore said. \u201cI\u2019m still suffering.
