Female workers at a private prison in Crowley County were sexually harassed and then given dangerous assignments as retaliation for raising objections to their treatment, according to an EEOC lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in Denver.

....... The lawsuit names the prison's current owner, Nashville, Tenn.-based Corrections Corp. of America, one of the largest private-prison companies in the nation, and the previous owner, Edmond, Okla.-based Dominion Correctional Services, which owned the facility between December 2000 and January 2003.
