The lawyers will get 30 to 40% of the recovery, so each will get a share of what's left, around 600 to 700k. Barely enough to start over upon release, if that. But not 200k to 300k, no.

    Male corrections officers have absolutely no business anywhere near where female inmates are showering or using the bathroom and should never be allowed to be alone with them anywhere in the facility. There is no reason that male corrections officers should be allowed to watch female prisoners showing or using the bathroom. There is no reason for a male officer to be allowed in the female parts of the prisons to be alone with females. Same goes with female officers.
    Just because you've committed a crime and most are without victims, doesn't mean you should lose your dignity and rights to modesty. Not to mention freedom from SA. Prison culture and prisons for profit must change. It's destroying lives for ill gotten gain and the lives of future generations.
    We as a nation need to focus on the actual illnesses that can be cured, rather than the symptoms that can be managed and treated. A hopelessness has gripped our nation. A sense that you will never get ahead by design. That unless you come from family wealth or have a great intellectual gift, there is no future in our nation now. "Where there is no vision, the people perish". It's screaming at us on our streets. As the rich get richer and get away with horrible crimes, the poor get poorer and dare not step out of line. Less they become just a commodity in the prisons for profit industry.

      You think France is amazing for that.

There is nothing to be amazed about... Plus, the trial was a joke. They rushed through it because they don't have the money and the time. Many of them were found to also own pe...phile content on their computers but they did not even get investigated or charged for that. No time. Yes, they were found guilty with ridiculous sentences, and only because there were video evidence for every single one of them. So they had to be found guilty. In other cases, convicted rapists often don't even step one foot in jail when the victim is even lucky that there is a trial. When there is a trial for rape in the US people get more jail time when found guilty. Both countries are a joke in that regard and yes France is a joke when you know how it works so don't use it as an example.

I was in juvenile hall as a youth there. A Judge threatened to send me to another facility where a friend of mine was sexually assaulted on almost a daily basis!! Once you are a ward of the state or an incarcerated person in this country your body is not your own and no one is coming to save you in there. It’s so so common and normalized at this point in America. Everyone knows about the horrors and depravities that are committed against young people and adults in the carceral system, but no one seems to care because we’re assumed to be guilty of a crime and have thus relinquished our human rights. I’m so sick of getting flooded with ads for juvenile sexual assault attorneys and seeing stories like this pop up from time to time with no systemic change being done to end this rape/sexual assault culture in prisons.

    This is awesome news! I'm sick of people in positions of Authority abusing and humiliating and preying on vulnerable women. These people all need stopped. This story gives me hope and strength to keep going and not give up the fight for women to reclaim their lives and expose the corruption. God Bless you all who have gone through this. ❤

    There are fates worse than death and this is arguably one of them. And it's countless years of this extreme torture

    'Baile Atha Cliath' The Irish for Dublin, from where i was born and live again,should change its name from English to I rish. Every time Dublin was mentioned in this vile news brought shame to me here, why? I don't know....the linking of such vile humans probably from the town shames me. I believe you could cleanse some aspects by such a move. Love and kindness to those survivors. We have plenty to be ashamed of here vis a vis the magdalin launderies, the church, the brutal beatings from "christian" brothers, from which I survived. GOD bless you ladies. Love from Ireland

    It is so good to see just how righteous and Christian the US systems really are. It's in great shape to dictate to the world on how to behave. Sick sick systems. Must be under an israeli mentorship programe. Brave Women who stood up for this. You have my full support. NZ

    This is America. Do not lecture me about anything going on in any other country when this is how the USA treats its citizens.
