Under the leadership of Louis Molina, The Department of Correction has expressed indifference to the well-being of incarcerated TGNCNBI individuals.

John Smith was coerced into an invasive examination and assaulted by staff at Bedford Hills Correctional Facility in Westchester.

A new report reveals a jail system that renders TGNCNBI individuals invisible, and therefore extremely vulnerable to the worst harms of arrest and incarceration.

The Legal Aid Society joined protesters who are demanding the Governor and Mayor reconsider an ill-convinced plan to move people from Rikers to facilities outside of the City, reports News 12 Bronx.

The City Council appointed group of advocates opposes the proposed upstate transfers and is calling for immediate decarceration, as reported by The Nation.

Advocates point out that TGNCNBI people are more vulnerable to the spread of COVID-19 due to higher risk of ​​weakened ​immune systems due to discrimination in healthcare, employment, education, and housing, reports Gay City News.

As COVID-19 infection rates continue to soar in state prisons, these individuals are among the most vulnerable, reports The Appeal.

In a letter to the Governor, The Legal Aid Society together with advocates, elected officials and more called for the release of transgender, gender non-conforming, non-binary, and intersex people and all other vulnerable populations, according to POLITICO.
