Gay and Lesbian Prisoners: Recent Developments and a Call for More Research
From Prison Legal Rights... by Zachary Wolfe, Esq.1
*********************************EXCERPT*******************************
This is an interesting time in the changing legal landscape relating to gay and lesbian prisoners, but public and scholarly attention is lacking. Rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered prisoners are often conceived of either in long-established concerns relating to guards’ discrimination or in newly popular attention to the special needs of transgendered prisoners. Although these are important issues, such a focus can lead advocates and courts to overlook the evolving standards (or stagnant policies, despite apparent potential for progress) regarding the rights of gay and lesbian prisoners.
This article discusses three recent legal and social developments that have application in the prison context but are yet to be fully explored there.
