Subject: Official Information request - Double-bunking of transgender
prisons

 

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
