A transgender baby killer was released from prison 30 years early after attempting to force authorities to use taxpayer money for gender-affirming surgeries.
Jonathan Richardson, who now uses the name Autumn Cordellione, was convicted in 2002 of murdering his 11-month-old stepdaughter by strangulation in a brutal killing.
Richardson tried for years to have the state of Indiana pay for his transgender surgeries, including demanding breast implants and a 'penile inversion' operation.
In September 2024, a court issued a preliminary injunction requiring the IDOC to provide the surgeries to Richardson, finding that denying the inmate constituted cruel and unusual punishment.
While prison officials have not yet commented on Richardson's release, the injunction led to speculation that the IDOC released the prisoner to avoid having to pay out for the expensive surgeries.
The inmate's lawsuit backed by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) made headlines in 2023 when he claimed he was subjected to unconstitutional 'cruel and unusual punishment' because the IDOC refused to use taxpayer funds to pay for his transgender surgeries.
The lawsuit included a list of demanded operations that Richardson described in a document as 'surgeries to reach my ideal self', including requesting a 'vagina', reports Reduxx.com.
Richardson also demanded breast implants, a brow lift, a brow reduction, a tummy tuck, gluteal implants (BBL), a uterus transplant, hair removal, and wigs.
Court records showed that Richardson later amended his demands to two surgeries - a 'penile inversion' operation and an orchiectomy to remove his testicles.
Richardson also launched a separate lawsuit in February 2024, suing a prison chaplain for banning him from wearing a prison hijab.

If Indiana officials don’t know how to handle these demands the state is in worse shape than I thought.
It looks like the inmates really are running things in Indiana.
Tell the baby’s biological father and other family that the killer is out. Tell the black community that he called them the n word. Tell the people of Indianapolis that he’s trying to ban racing.
Step 1 remove testicles with pliers and wool shears.
Step 2 .45 caliber lobotomy.
Its time to bring back public hangings.
Further proof the aclu is literally a demonic organization.
What’s so hard about just saying NO?
Words spreads in the prison system, if this works, we will have more of it..................
They could have just given his cellmate Bubba a knife to perform the orchiectomy.
“What’s so hard about just saying NO?”
Utterly insane judicial system and judges won’t let them say “NO”.
Maybe this is what it finally takes for people to wake up to their tyrannical judicial system.
It’s a legitimate answer.
Any judge who rules such a thing should be dragged off his bench and out into the street to be beaten to a pulp in front of the public.
These are evil judges, and the law should not protect them.
These judges should be sent to prison.
Ugh, I made the mistake of going to the link.
Folks, we need to recover sanity. We had justice in the 1950s. Try'em and fry'em. Idaho's moving in the right direction.
Looked for “The Bee” as the source.........
It is my observation that prisoners getting out early often have expensive medical issues that the state is required by law to treat.
Should have been executed 29 years ago.
Back to his freak world.
Sick. Indiana is just menntally ill as a culture. Stopped at a coffee shop there a year ago. Bunch of super obese lesbos with the pink hair, lip/nose/eyebrow rings, and the stank of sewer sweat were yapping at a table nearby. They were calling all the men in Indiana rapists, saying they’d never go on a date with any again. Lol, yeah right. No guy wants to hang with a bunch of stinky cows. They can do that on the farm for free down there. THey don’t need no help from those mentally ill creatures.
