CA WOWENS PRISON SEXUAL ABUSE

If you experienced sexual abuse while incarcerated at a women's prison in California, you are not alone and you have options for seeking justice and healing.

It is unacceptable that such abuse was allowed to occur and persist in these facilities, and we stand with you in seeking accountability and compensation for the harm you have endured.

​

Under California state law, it is illegal for corrections officers to engage in sexual relationships or misconduct with inmates. This includes situations where an inmate is forced into sex, as well as situations where an inmate willingly participates in a sexual relationship with a guard. No matter the circumstances, you have the right to seek justice and hold those responsible accountable.

​

Recently, California passed legislation that removes the time limitations for filing a lawsuit in cases of sexual abuse in detention facilities. This means that survivors of abuse, no matter how long ago it occurred, can seek justice and closure through the legal system.  Our team of professionals is  here to support you in this process and will fight for your rights to the fullest extent of the law.

​

If you were incarcerated at any women’s prison in NY at any time, and were forced into sex with guards, or subjected to any sexual misconduct, you now have rights, and our team would like to help you get the justice  you deserve.
