Two female prisoners at the California Institution for Women in Chino, located in San Bernardino County, were attacked during the course of a sting operation to catch a former California correctional officer in the act after he was accused of sexual harassment and assault.

Plaintiffs Jossie Ramos and Melissa Ortiz were incarcerated at the California Institution for Women in 2010 when Guillermo Garcia was warden.

Mr. Garcia ignored several reports from a prison lieutenant that former Corrections Officer Gary Swatzell was engaging in sexual misconduct with several inmates.

Ramos and Ortiz were repeatedly coerced into engaging in sexual acts with former Corrections Officer Gary Swatzell without their lawful consent

After one encounter, Ramos was impregnated by Swatzell and delivered a child who she is now unable to care for and raise.

He and four other workers at the facility have been charged with abusing women at the embattled complex, accused of breaking a law prohibiting sexual contact between prison workers and inmates.

Corrections officers Jason Horigan, Ricardo Llamas, Sgt. Luis Flores, Lt. Peggy Maldonado, and Matthew Cate, secretary of the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.

Some of the women spoke out, exposing the horrors they endured at the federal prison that came to be known as the “rape club”.

Now Swatzell’s conduct has shocked America and shone a terrible spotlight on the abuses and crimes committed in its sprawling penal system.
