A federal judge in Oakland on Tuesday decided against holding the Federal Bureau of Prisons in contempt of court despite the warden at the all-women's prison in Dublin transferring an incarcerated woman to Los Angeles against her orders.U.S. District Court Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers said she also would not issue sanctions against Madison Mattioli, an assistant U.S. attorney representing the BOP, for saying that the transfer of Rhonda Fleming from FCI Dublin to MDC Los Angeles was OK.
She said having a special master would assist her with that load. She said she would issue an order in the next few weeks on her decision. The judge added that she was glad she made that visit because the picture isn't as dire as the plaintiffs are painting, and the cultural shift of "zero tolerance" for sexual abuse and retaliation aren't as rosy as the BOP are claiming."It's not as black or white as you make it," Gonzalez Rogers said.
