Hundreds of Women File Rape Lawsuits Against New York City Jails
Hundreds of Women File Rape Lawsuits Against New York City Jails
The suits filed as part of the state’s extension of the statute of limitations under the Adult Victims Act allege a culture of abuse and cover-up at the Department of Correction.
...at least 400 lawsuits against the city Department of Correction filed under New York State’s Adult Survivors Act, signed into law in May 2022. Similar to the Child Victims Act, the ASA gives alleged victims of sexual assault a window to seek monetary damages long after the statute of limitations for possible criminal charges expired.
I have a feeling we’re going to see a lot of rape lawsuits come out against the police in this country in upcoming years. If they can be openly racists then they’re not above this sort of shit
This is happens in all Juvenile and women correctional facilities. Since the US justice system has never been about rehabilitation they've (meaning us as a society) have never bothered to vet staff and protect those being held.
Hundreds ...
Fuck. 😡
I like to think that most people are good, and then I see shit like this.
Most people are people. Reasonably good but self-interested. But even a small percentage of bad people multiplied by humanity is a huge number, particularly when self-interest overlaps with evil.

Federal police are no longer allowed, but you aren't usually getting arrested by Federal police soooo
