Inside one of the only federal women’s prisons in the United States, inmates say they have been subjected to rampant sexual abuse by correctional officers and even the warden, and were often threatened or punished when they tried to speak up.

Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time, right? Hardly anybody besides their friends and families cares what happens to the people who live behind prison walls. That’s how those who run our correction institutions get away with appalling brutality, word of which almost never sees the light of day.

Officers at the Cuyahoga County Jail in Ohio are accused of pepper-spraying and assaulting a man for merely asking about his release date.

One fifth of inmates say they’ve been assaulted by another prisoner or a guard.
