Abuse allegations at Central California Women’s Facility
Overview
Allegations of misconduct and abuse at the Central California Women’s Facility in Chowchilla have surfaced through investigative reporting and accounts of mass confinement incidents.
An investigation titled ‘We Are Jane Doe’ documented allegations of sexual assault by guards against incarcerated women. Inmates reported harsh living conditions, including overcrowding, hunger, and harassment by male staff.
Subsequent reports detailed a mass confinement incident involving 159 women. During this event, correctional officers reportedly held inmates in a dining hall for over four hours without food, water, or medication. As tensions escalated, staff allegedly used pepper spray, chemical blast grenades, and tear gas against the women. These uses of force were reported to have caused serious medical issues, including seizures, blindness, and strokes.
