Women incarcerated at Folsom Women’s Facility in Sacramento County, California are now coming forward with civil claims of sexual abuse and retaliation by correctional staff.

These lawsuits allege that officials at this CDCR-run facility failed to prevent known patterns of misconduct, ignored reports of abuse, and created an environment where victims were silenced rather than protected. Survivors are pursuing compensation through civil litigation, seeking justice and fair settlements for what happened inside one of California’s lesser-known but deeply troubled women’s prisons.

Though prisons like Chowchilla and Chino receive much of the current spotlight, survivors from Folsom have also begun to step forward with chilling stories of abuse, retaliation, and institutional betrayal.

This page looks at civil lawsuits for victims of sexual abuse at San Diego juvenile detention centers.

San Diego County Juvenile Hall is now at the center of a troubling investigation into allegations of sexual abuse and misconduct against minors who were detained at the facility. Survivors have come forward with reports of sexual exploitation, misconduct by staff members, and a pervasive culture of abuse that was allegedly ignored or covered up by those in power. These allegations are part of a larger pattern of sexual abuse within the juvenile justice system, where vulnerable youth are too often subjected to harm by the very individuals entrusted with their care.

We think San Diego will be the next California juvenile hall sex abuse settlement domino to fall.  Our lawyers talk about this, and the expected settlement amounts we expect to see in these lawsuits, below.
