Sex for KFC: What REALLY happened between guards and inmates at California ... trends now
A notorious prison in California - known as the 'rape club' by inmates, and 'club fed' for celebrity inmates like Felicity Huffman and Lori Loughlin - will be closed down after years of rampant sexual abuse by staff against female prisoners.
Some of the inmates at FCI Dublin, located about 21 miles east of Oakland, were already being moved to other prisons on Monday when officials with the Federal Bureau of Prisons announced plans to close the facility.
Bureau of Prisons Director Colette Peters confirmed to DailyMail.com that that the agency took 'unprecedented steps and provided a tremendous amount of resources to address culture, recruitment and retention, aging infrastructure - and most critical - employee misconduct.
'Despite these steps and resources, we have determined that FCI Dublin is not meeting expected standards and that the best course of action is to close the facility,' Peters said. 'This decision is being made after ongoing evaluation of the effectiveness of those unprecedented steps and additional resources.'

A judge had appointed a special master to oversee reforms at FCI Dublin after a bombshell investigation in 2021 revealed prison staff were having sex with inmates, including former warden Ray Garcia.
Sex between a prisoner worker and inmate is illegal because correctional employees could use their position of power over the wards.
At least eight FCI Dublin employees so far have been charged with abusing inmates since 2021.
Former Hollywood madam Heidi Fleiss - who served three years of her tax evasion and money laundering charges at FCI Dublin from 1997 to 2000 - told DailyMail.com it was common knowledge guards had sexual relationships with prisoners.
Fleiss said she was shocked the prison is closing, but was not surprised the guard-on-inmate sexual abuses continued years after she did her time at Dublin because 'everyone knew it was happening all the time.'
'When I was there, there were inmates eating Kentucky Fried Chicken,' Fleiss told DailyMail.com on Monday. 'And you knew right away they were f**king the guards because that fried chicken definitely did not come from the prison menu.'

'I remember one woman told me, 'Hey, look at this,' and then she showed me her lingerie as she was eating her KFC.
