Lawsuit Filed Over Physical Exams Of California Correctional Officers

(Sacramento, CA) — Hundreds of current and former correctional officers in California have filed a lawsuit claiming they were forced to take unnecessary rectal exams. Several officers say they had been selected to become prison officers, but medical workers at a group of Sacramento clinics told them they needed rectal exams before they could start training. The examinations occurred from 2006 to 2016. The lawsuit filed yesterday shows only officers in Northern California had to undergo the exams.
