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.
Going to Hell is getting off too easy for these people. Jfc. I want to fucking scream at the top of my lungs.

Holy shit, Tammie M Gregg was former director of the National Prison Project for the ACLU. Goddamn.
Tammie M. Gregg was the Deputy Director for the ACLU’s National Prison Project. Tammie also led the ACLU’s Stop Solitary campaign. Tammie came to NPP from a long and distinguished career with the U.S. Department of Justice and other federal agencies. After beginning her career with law firms in Minneapolis and Washington, in 2000 she joined DOJ as a trial attorney in the Civil Rights Division. From 2003 to 2011 she was a senior attorney in the Special Litigation Section, where she worked on cases involving prisons, jails, and policing. She rose to the level of Principal Deputy Chief of the Section, where she provided day-to-day supervision to a staff of over 70 people.
What the actual goddamned fuck

Cruelty is the point
Americans genuinely seem to believe that sexual assault in prison is an engineered intention of the prison system. We also get an earful about how rape is the consequence of inmates assaulting one another with scant acknowledgement of the chronic abuse by prison staff against inmates.
No real consideration of why the US is uniquely positioned as having some of the most dangerous and deplorable prisons in the world. No real introspection surrounding the real purpose of inmate torture and abuse, or how it facilitates the profiteering off of inmate labor.
no real consideration? what do you meeeeeean american exceptionalism
Wait, they can just carve out exceptions for Rape they like?
A crurl racist pedophile rapist removes protections against rape for a vulnerable minority
Well I for one am shocked and did not see this coming! Get fucked by an umbrella, you assholes
How about just making sure that rape doesn’t happen anymore AT ALL in US prisons? It’s seriously wild that “don’t drop your soap now!” os a joke because its funny because rape in US jails is so normalized that we went from outrage to just lolling about it.
To the self-described trans person all over these threads last year shitting on Harris: We Told You So.
Remember this when your in-group starts shitting on the midterm candidates and voting in general.
But they might try to negotiate with israel for a ceasefire instead of immediately nuking tel aviv. (Nevermind the Rs bloodlust in “developing” gaza)
If you order and carry out this kind of thing, there is something wrong with your brain.
Even W had the fucking decency to start initiatives to do something about prison rape, FFS.
W?
Dubya. Bush II, electric boogaloo. Dodger here, on your left (his right):
George Washington (real answer, George W Bush)
There are zero peaceful resolutions in dealing with the christian menace
Just a WILD thought…… how about everyone has rape protections?
No but you see, it’s funny when men and minorities are raped.
/s
Ironically, W is the one that signed the Prison Rape Elimination Act. I remember talking to conservatives that thought W was speaking some kind of foreign language.
Sounds like socialism
Fuck this whole administration. Fucking disgusting.
I’m not American, but that violates the “cruel and unusual punishment” part of the constitution, no?
Haha silly foreigner, you think we still follow that old piece of paper.
There has long been a dark undertow of anti-intellectuals and sick fuckers in this country that I’ve encountered with all my life that practically celebrate prison rape (of men by other men) because they think it’s deserved. For pretty much any crime, they think that is part of the punishment.
They are sick and broken people, and unfortunately, it is part and parcel of the culture.
When W came along and proposed doing something about this, I remember having conversations much like I had on the playground, except with supposed functioning adults - they’d give blank stares as if they thought it was anathema to do something about it. They seriously think that rape (and other violence) is something you deserve in prison. Like it didn’t even compute for them to have no tolerance for rape of men.
I’m sure these people think that trans/intersex “deserve” it even more so…
People like that think rape is ok, period. They don’t believe women about it, either, because they think any “excuse” you give the rapist is valid whether it’s wearing a skirt, having a drink, being LGBT+, committing any crime, being in the wrong place at the wrong time, etc.
They think rape is the right of men. (They likely also believe female perpetrated rape isn’t real at all)
The ghouls on the supreme court have ruled that to be banned, a punishment must be both cruel and unusual. If it’s cruel and common then it’s fine for certain types of cruelty. Like solitary confinement lasting weeks, or months, or even years in some cases.
There are more okay forms of cruelty, and a lot of things that are banned, but fewer banned things than anyone with human empathy would condone.

Goddammit they so fucking evil and we have no one to stop them.
They’re not going to stop. People like this don’t stop. They don’t stop until forced. Power is the only language they understand.
I guess we need to take the power back. Someone should write a song.
We did but they missed.
I would not have thought a policy position could be objectively described as ‘pro-rape’, just inarguably, but, well, here we have it.
Fucking horrifying.
Expected nothing less from a child rapist.
And a cock sucker himself
Ain’t nothin wrong with sucking a little cock though
It’s probably at least a bit wrong when you realise “Bubba” was the name of Maxwell’s horse, though…
Can one of you guys just go do the thing already
Somebody is closer than anyone else to the guy and could do the thing. We just need that person to realize it.
