asking her why it appears incarcerated women are facing "significant barriers" in talking to their lawyers and demanding that this unconstitutional practice changes immediately.
Swalwell reminded Jusino that people in the care of the U.S. Bureau of Prisons retain their rights to due process and counsel, even after sentencing. "Given the unfortunate history at FCI Dublin, exercising the constitutional right to counsel is especially urgent for survivors of sexual abuse," Swalwell wrote the warden. "Immediate action is needed to ensure that inmates receive timely access to legal services without unreasonable delay."Swalwell sent the letter one day after Jusino's predecessor, Ray J.
She said that lawyers with Centro Legal de La Raza in Oakland and others who comprise the "Dublin Survivors Coalition," have also faced the same hurdles. Under the Prison Rape Elimination Act regulations, incarcerated people must be able to report sexual abuse or harassment without influence from an entity with custody over them, Swalwell reminded Jusino.
Why is it that we wait for someone to be incarcerated before we offer mental health services. Shouldn’t it be offered beforehand, you know to keep them out of prison?
Is fang-fang taking up residence there?
Surprisingly quite during the last wardens tenure.
Is Fang Fang there? Eric needs to know.
