Tim AshtonAuthorities in New York's Steuben County agreed to sweeping changes to its jail and prison policies after settling a discrimination lawsuit filed by a transgender inmate.
The New York Civil Liberties Union, the Transgender Legal Defense & Education Fund and the firm BakerHostetlerWednesday as containing “one of the strongest jail or prison policies in the country protecting the rights of transgender, gender nonconforming, nonbinary and intersex people in custody” and called upon other jails around the country to use the policy as their own.
“The mistreatment of transgender and gender-nonconforming people in prison and jails is something that happens around the country and the state despite the fact that there are clear legal protections in place that prohibit this kind of treatment and discrimination against transgender folks,” Bobby Hodgson, a staff attorney at NYCLU, told NBC News.
“The work of changing what’s happening on the ground is about creating model policies like this one,” Hodgson continued, “and ensuring that other jurisdictions see they are successful and see them as a way forward.”
