NYCLU: Landmark settlement yields one of nation's strongest jail policies protecting transgender people in custody

8/5/2020

 
"Under the settlement, the county commits itself to upholding the dignity and respect of transgender people by changing its jail policies to comply with federal and state laws. Specifically, the county will:
  • Presumptively house people consistent with their gender identity.
  • Ensure that staff at the jail respect a person’s self-identified gender identity in all other contexts, including name and pronoun use, and searches.
  • Ensure access to clothing, toiletry items, and grooming standards consistent with a person’s gender identity.
  • Ensure access to medical care consistent with a person’s gender identity.
  • Compensate Ms. Faith for harms she suffered, in the amount of $60,000."
