ICE Wants to Reopen the Crumbling Federal Prison Dubbed ‘Rape Club’

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) wants to expand its concentration camp network in California with a dilapidated Bay Area prison known as the “Rape Club,” advocates and organizers warned on Tuesday. They said repurposing the Federal Correctional Institution, Dublin (FCI Dublin), for use as a detention center would endanger immigrants in multiple ways—not only does it have a lengthy history of unchecked sexual abuse, but also the buildings are falling to pieces and heavily contaminated with toxic waste.
