Project on Addressing Prison Rape

North Carolina

  1. State Policy: N.C. Dept. Public Safety and Prisons, Evaluation and Management of Disorders of Gender Dysphoria, Policy and Procedural Manual, October 2014
  2. Language: In deciding whether to assign a transgender inmate to a facility for male or female offenders, and in making other housing and programming assignments, it will be considered on a case-by-case basis whether a placement would insure the inmate’s health and safety, and whether the placement would present management or security problems.

“No one truly knows a nation until one has been inside its jails. A nation should not be judged by how it treats its highest citizens but its lowest.”
