In the first public hearing since FCI Dublin closed last month, U.S. District Court Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers also ordered a special master she appointed in March to continue to handle the cases of some 600 women transferred out of the prison. Many of the inmates sent to other federal lockups claimed they suffered mistreatment during the transfer process.
But plaintiffs’ attorney Amari Montes said the bureau would have to agree to "lasting changes, including medical and mental health care," before any deal is reached.The prisons bureau didn’t immediately respond to a request for a statement about Wednesday’s hearing. But the bureau has said repeatedly that it doesn’t comment on matters pending before the court. Officials have reiterated that its closure plan was carefully considered over months.
