The Federal Correctional Institution, Dublin (FCI Dublin) was a low-security United States federal prison for female inmates in Dublin, California. The facility also has an adjacent satellite prison camp housing minimum-security female offenders.
FCI Dublin is located 20 miles southeast of Oakland on the Parks Reserve Forces Training Area.[1] It is located near Santa Rita Jail, which is operated by Alameda County.
FCI Dublin opened in 1974. It became an exclusively female prison in 2012 and is one of five federal prisons for women in the United States. In 2021 and 2022, the facility was embroiled in a scandal over a permissive and toxic culture of rampant sexual abuse by staff at the facility.[2] After 60 Minutes aired a special in January 2024 titled "Agency In Crisis", the FBI raided the FCI Dublin and shortly after, the Bureau of Prisons announced its closure on April 15, 2024.[3]
