1. Policy: Indiana Department of Corrections, Sexual Abuse Prevention
2. Language: Offenders identified as Intersex or Transgender shall receive an initial placement and programming assessment with subsequent reassessments conducted every six (6) months. In deciding whether to assign a transgender or intersex offender to a facility for male or female offenders, and in making other housing and programming assignments, the agency shall consider, on a case-by-case basis, whether a placement would ensure the offender’s health and safety; and whether the placement would present management or security problems. Serious consideration shall be given to such an offender’s own views with respect to his or her own safety. Transgender and intersex offenders shall be given the opportunity to shower separately from other offenders.

“The degree of civilization in a society can be judged by entering its prisons.”

Fyodor Dostoevsky
