CA Governor Signs Law Allowing Transgender Inmates To Be Placed In Prison By Their Gender Identity

California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Saturday signed a new law that allows transgender inmates to be placed in prisons based on their gender identity.

What’s more, guards must address the inmates using their preferred pronouns.

“The Transgender Respect, Agency, and Dignity Act notes that officers must privately ask inmates during the intake process on how they identify as. Transgender, nonbinary, or intersex inmates can request to be placed in a facility that houses either men or women based on how they identify as,” The Blaze reported.
