…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.

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. 😡
