DoJ moves to eliminate sexual abuse protections for LGBTQ+ people in prisons
NegativeU.S News

- The US Department of Justice has announced a policy shift to eliminate protections for LGBTQ+ individuals against sexual abuse in prisons, stating that prisons will no longer be held accountable for violations of standards designed to prevent harassment and assault. This change, outlined in a memo, also directs inspectors to cease auditing facilities for compliance with these protections.
- Advocates have condemned this move as 'reckless and dangerous,' warning that it could lead to an increase in sexual assaults within the prison system, further endangering a vulnerable population already at high risk.
