Double-bunking of transgender prisons

Ti Lamusse made this Official Information request to Department of Corrections

The request was refused by Department of Corrections.

From: Ti Lamusse

Dear Department of Corrections,

According to the “SHARED ACCOMMODATION CELL RISK ASSESSMENT - COMPATIBILITY GUIDELINES” on the Corrections’ website, transgender prisoners are only to be double-bunked with other transgender prisoners (unless they choose to cell with a cisgender prisoner).

I have the following questions:

When was this policy introduced?
How many transgender prisoners are in double-bunked cells with another transgender prisoner?
How many transgender prisoners are in double-bunked cells with a non-transgender (cisgender) prisoner?
How many transgender prisoners are in double-bunked cells by themselves?

Yours faithfully,

Ti Lamusse
