Since an FBI probe was launched and resulted in arrests in 2021, eight FCI Dublin employees have been charged with sexually abusing inmates. Last year, former Warden Ray J. Garcia was sentenced to 70 months in prison for sexually abusing incarcerated women and lying to the FBI as part of a cover-up. On Monday, Nancy T. McKinney, a top regional Bureau of Prisons supervisor, was appointed interim warden of Dublin. In March of last year, the judge referred to the prison’s “culture of sexual abuse” in sentencing former Warden Garcia, whom she said had perpetuated that culture. He fondled and groped three women incarcerated at the prison in Dublin and made them pose naked for photos.
