Gopal Condemns Reports of Sexual Violence at Edna Mahan Correction Facility for Women
OCEAN TOWNSHIP – Senator Vin Gopal (D-Monmouth) issued the following statement regarding a report of unchecked sexual violence at the Edna Mahan Correction Facility for Women issued by the U. S. Department of Justice after a two-year investigation:

“The reports of unchecked sexual violence at the Edna Mahan Correctional Facility for Women are absolutely horrifying, and must be immediately addressed. A system that allows its officers to rape and assault inmates with impunity is no justice system at all. It’s time for the state to step in, eliminate the systematic culture of abuse from this facility and any other facility, and ensure justice is served for every survivor who has endured these monstrous acts.”

Senator Vin Gopal represents New Jersey’s 11th Legislative District in the State Senate, where he works to make the Garden State more affordable for its hard-working residents. The 11th District includes the Monmouth County municipalities of Allenhurst, Asbury Park, Colts Neck, Deal, Eatontown, Freehold Borough, Freehold Township, Interlaken, Loch Arbour, Long Branch, Neptune City, Neptune, Ocean Township, Red Bank, Shrewsbury Borough, Shrewsbury Township, Tinton Falls and West Long Branch.
