The Department of Justice instructed prison auditors across the country to simply stop assessing whether facilities are violating laws designed to shield LGBT+ prisoners from sexual abuse
TheĀ U.S. Department of Justice will āimmediatelyā stop enforcingĀ a swathe of federal regulations protecting trans and intersex prisoners from rape and sexual assault, according to leaked documents.
In a memoĀ obtained by the non-profit news outletĀ Prism, DoJ official Tammie M. Gregg told prison auditors across the nation to āimmediately pauseā all ācompliance determinationsā for key safety rules concerning LGBTQI+ inmates, and advise prisons to ādisregardā them.
Those rules include requiring trans and intersex prisoners to be allowed separate showers, banning body searches purely for the purpose of finding out what genitals they have, and requiring prison staff to consider their safety when assigning them to male or female wings.
Well itās simple. The US just didnāt want to give slavery away, because then theyād have had no production capabilities to compete on international markets.
So thatās why the US has the highest % of prisoners in the world. US prison population is similar size as Chinaās prison population and thereās 4x as many people in China.
1.7 million prisoners. Thatās like 1/100 adults.
And once you go in, even for a small crime, your probably just end up doing worse shit inside. The recidivism rate in the US is crazy.
