The Department of Justice instructed prison auditors across the country to simply stop assessing whether facilities are violating laws designed to shield LGBT+ prisoners from sexual abuse

The U.S. Department of Justice will “immediately” stop enforcing a swathe of federal regulations protecting trans and intersex prisoners from rape and sexual assault, according to leaked documents.

In a memo obtained by the non-profit news outlet Prism, DoJ official Tammie M. Gregg told prison auditors across the nation to “immediately pause” all “compliance determinations” for key safety rules concerning LGBTQI+ inmates, and advise prisons to “disregard” them.

Those rules include requiring trans and intersex prisoners to be allowed separate showers, banning body searches purely for the purpose of finding out what genitals they have, and requiring prison staff to consider their safety when assigning them to male or female wings.

    Fucking hilarious! Hey, real quick, what’s West been up to since November?

    Remember when we tried to tell you that he and all the rest of the party dividers would disappear post-election?

    Yeah. Maybe you’ll listen next time. That dude didn’t give a shit. He’s paid to split the vote and that’s what he does.

        Yeah, the difference is, none of us that were voting for her ever claimed or believed that she was going to change the world-

        -instead, we just thought she’d play spoiler to the one person that would bring us fascism.

        Those 3rd party clowns were supposed to usher in a new world of perfection and bliss according to all the kids crying about things like…. “aBoLiSh pRiSoNs!” LMAO!

        -Instead, all they did was play spoiler to the one person that could have stopped fascism….

            Shit… I forgot, you people demand attention- my bad.

            Yeah. I don’t answer stupid fucking questions. So, there’s your answer.

            I probably should have led with that, knowing you do have the urge to ask them- it would probably have saved you some time in having to write up that smug little edit of yours.

                I probably should have led with that, knowing you do have the urge to ask them- it would DEFINITELY have saved you some time in having to smugly ask the same stupid question twice.

                And thats a pretty fascinating upvote trick you have there! It seems It’s good to keep those sock puppets loyal, eh?

                    Aww… look at that. Your only comment with a single upvote. How sad!

                    Amazing how coincidental it is that it happened to be in a reply to being called out. I reported it for vote manipulation anyway. I hear the admins take that shit pretty seriously.

                    Oh, and in the future- when people tell you to stop asking them stupid questions, it’s best to just walk away. As we have learned here today, pressing the issue only impresses sock puppets. Everyone else sees it for the bad faith rhetoric that it is.

                    Gonna block you now. Had fun!
