Think you’re safe from sex abuse at a Minimum Federal Camp?
GUESS AGAIN YOU’RE NOT!!
Every day I was a Federal Inmate at the Victorville Prison Camp I was subjected to constant verbal sexual harassment by male staff with offers of special treatment for sexual favors.
And when I tried to report it through official channels I was shunned, placed under investigation, and sent to the San Bernardino County Jail isolated for months in solitary confinement with a steel toilet, thin blanket and a bible in attempt to shut me up.
And it wasn’t just me! Female inmate sexual abuse is a virtual epidemic at Victorville and women’s Federal Prisons nationwide.
Everyday female prisoners are raped, groped or victimized through other types of sexual coercion in exchange for basic commodities like cigarettes and toiletries. Often, these incidents go unreported because of fear.
While I can’t prevent you from being sexually harassed, I can help you deal with it before it happens and teach you steps to safely report it and limit your exposure.
