Season 3 of Cases 4 Causes kicks off with a powerful episode featuring Jessica Pride of The Pride Law Firm, and your host, Landon Harlan.
Jessica played a leading role in the litigation that exposed rampant staff-on-inmate sexual abuse at the now-shuttered Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) Dublin, a federal women’s prison. Once known by inmates as the “rape club,” FCI Dublin was permanently closed by the Bureau of Prisons following years of abuse, mismanagement, and a scathing internal investigation. The federal government ultimately agreed to a nearly $116 million settlement for more than 100 survivors.
In this episode, we discuss: 1. The landmark settlement 2. The PREA (Prison Rape Elimination Act of 2003) audit process 3. What to do if someone you know is incarcerated and experiencing abuse 4. How similar patterns of institutional abuse appear in massage parlors, schools, and psychiatric hospitals This conversation sheds light on systems that fail to protect the vulnerable—and the legal pathways being carved to change that.
