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.
can we organize?
If youāre serious, Iām willing. DM me. That applies to you and anyone else who sees this comment and actually wants to do something.
Just keep in mind that Iām chronically ill, so I may not respond immediately.
i would, but i CANāT go outside without permission - iād help with the organizing, but i will NOT attend the protest, sorry. seriously!
Thatās fine. Like I said, Iām chronically ill. Iām mostly housebound. There are many ways to make a difference.
