Claims of sexual assault at Lowell (FL) Correctional Institution
The women’s prison in Ocala – the Lowell Correctional Institution – has a long standing accusation of abuse of the women incarcerated there and a recent report by the United State Department of Justice is adding flames to the fire. This new report is claiming that the conditions at Lowell Correctional Institution violate the constitution.
The Civil Rights Division of the DOJ began it’s investigation in 2018, and with this recent report, claims that FDOC failed to keep prisoners at Lowell safe from sexual abuse by staff.

Here is an update on this. Law makers are acting and heads are rolling, jobs may be lost and hopefully some arrests made.

Sounds like whoever wrote this article is upset that “DOJ” released this report:
“…adding flames to the fire. This new report is claiming that the conditions at Lowell Correctional Institution violate the constitution.”
“SOURCE” is not a link.
In reading the report, “MINIMAL REMEDIAL MEASURES” are sickening. Nowhere is it recommended to hold the guards accountable or to prosecute those who are accused. The conclusion is to make the facility aware that this report is public information, again, sickening.
This Behavior is Perpetuated on Both Sides….We All Know it!
It is actually more Prevalent in Institutions Where Men are incarcerated….I have lost count of the stories I heard from Fellow Inmates who ‘made the score’ on a Female Guard….Oh the Stories, probably HALF are True…but those that occurred, were at the Older Camps where Security Cameras were absent and there were areas to do this stuff!
Most of these Men did it for cell phones and other Contraband…you could always tell during the Holiday Times, the fellow inmate who was passing the ‘Old Crow’ Handle around….He was the one Slinging his stuff!
Happy Holidays!
