7th Former FCI Dublin Employee Sentenced For Sex Crimes: DOJ

DUBLIN, CA — A seventh former employee at the Federal Correctional Institution in Dublin was sentenced to prison, the U.S. Department of Justice announced Wednesday. Nakie Nunley, 48, of Fairfield, California, was sentenced to 72 months in prison, after pleading guilty in September to sexually abusing five inmates.

Nunley supervised prisoners working at UNICOR, the trade name for federal prison industries, according to the DOJ. In his plea agreement, he admitted that between March 2020 and November 2021, he engaged in sexual acts with five prisoners working at the UNICOR call center. Nunley also admitted to lying to investigators about sexually abusing one of his victims and sending sexually explicit notes to another.

Nunley also admitted in his plea bargain that when one victim approached him about his conduct, he threatened her with transfer to another facility or losing her job. He also admitted to telling a victim she needed to engage in sexual activities with him if she wanted to keep her job at UNICOR.

Nunley was charged with engaging in sexual acts and sexual contacts with five prisoners, and with lying to investigators.

Nunley is the seventh former FCI Dublin employee to be sentenced, including the former warden and chaplain. The prison is now being overseen by a special master, per a judge’s orders. It was also recently raided by the FBI.
