Dear Department of Corrections,

Corrections is aware as being transgender.

-Please break down this number by whether they are transgender men, women,
or non-binary (neither men nor women).

-The number of transgender women in men’s prisons.

-The number of transgender women in women’s prisons.

-The number of transgender men in men’s prisons.

-The number of transgender men in women’s prisons.

-The number non-binary in men’s prisons.

-The number non-binary women in women’s prisons.

-The total number of applications for transfer to a facility of a
different gender per annum, as far back as records permit. Please break
this down further by the success rate of the applications. Please note the
gender (transgender man, woman, non-binary) of the applicants).

-The average waiting time following an application for transfer to a
facility of a different gender.

 

Yours faithfully,

 

Iris Krzyzosiak
