Survivors of prison sexual abuse scandal ask Biden for clemency: ‘Give us a chance’

Incarcerated women seek relief after exposing harassment, retaliation and assault by staff

Incarcerated women who spoke out about pervasive sexual abuse they endured at the hands of guards in a federal prison located in California are pleading with the Biden administration to grant them clemency.

Their calls come after Joe Biden last week carried out the largest act of presidential clemency on a single day in modern US history, pardoning 39 people and commuting the sentences of almost 1,500 others.
