December 04, 2019 10:47 AM A Miami Herald I-Team investigation into corruption, sexual abuse and medical neglect at the largest women's prison in the nation, Lowell Correctional. Reporting by Julie K. Brown I [email protected]. By Emily Michot For years, male officers at the women's work camp at Coleman Federal Correctional Complex sexually harassed and assaulted inmates in what amounted to a "sanctuary" for systemic abuse, a space where they were shielded from any consequences. If the women complained about being groped, fondled or forced to perform sex acts on officers, the inmates were the ones who were punished. Fourteen women, ranging in age from 30 to 56 and nearly all first-time offenders, have banded together to sue the United States, not under pseudonyms but under their real names, over the abuse they say they've endured at the Bureau of Prisons- operated camp. Seven of the women are still incarcerated. The lawsuit seeks compensation and an overhaul of the prison. It was filed this week. An aerial view of the sprawling Coleman complex Coleman officials did not immediately respond to a request from the Miami Herald for comment. The litigation is the latest manifestation of dysfunction in a federal prison system that seemingly hit bottom when Jeffrey Epstein, perhaps the most high-profile detainee in the nation, was found hanged Aug. 10 in his cell at another BOP facility, the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan, while officers dozed nearby. The Page 15716 EFTA00045227

death, which led to the summary removal of the acting director of the prison system, has been termed a suicide. It occurred despite what was described as a previous suicide attempt three weeks earlier. Although it touches on a second institution in Tallahassee, the lawsuit focuses primarily on Coleman, the largest prison complex in the federal system. Located in Sumter County near Wildwood, it houses more than 6,000 inmates in a series of compounds and camps, including roughly 500 women, the complaint says In stark, chilling detail, the lawsuit describes pervasive abuse — how women were coerced and threatened, how they were lured into private offices or remote sheds with no surveillance cameras, or stalked relentlessly by corrections officers until they had no choice but to submit. The officers — all of whom are identified in the lawsuit, at least by last name — would at times display computer screens showing the women the exact location of their families, a pointed message that their relatives could be targeted if the women didn't cooperate. Some of the women had minor children. In some cases, officers wanted to maintain relationships with the women after they had served their time, according to the lawsuit. The lawsuit says Coleman employed no fewer than seven officers who took advantage of their authority and access to sexually abuse the women. Some of the officers had been investigated for sexual abuse in the past, with nothing coming of it, the lawsuit alleges. The Miami Herald requested personnel files on all of the named officers to see if there were telltale warnings in their backgrounds. The Bureau of Prisons responded that absent an "overriding public interest," it would not provide such documents, calling the provision of such records "an unwarranted invasion of their personal privacy." The male staffers maintained total control over the women's lives, safety and well- being. At least one victim said she was ordered to begin birth control to avoid the possibility of becoming pregnant and another was given a morning-after pill by an officer. Page 15717 EFTA00045228

We also don't have a breakdown of male/female facilities - this question would be complicated to answer. Coleman, for example, is generally a male facility, but females are at the camp. Here are the raw numbers of staff/inmate cases: FY 2014 - 501 FY 2015 - 372 FY 2016 - 466 FY 2017 - 377 FY 2018 - 516 FY 2019 - 439 On average, we sustain charges in fewer than 5% of cases.
