Colorado is on track to become the first state to accommodate transgender women inmates in the state penitentiary after a class action lawsuit alleged discrimination, assault, rape and harassment.
Colorado is poised to become the first state in the country with segregated holding cells for transgender women in prison, if a judge signs off on it.
Several of the plaintiffs seeking judicial approval of the consent decree are currently serving life without parole for homicide and assault, according to court documents obtained by Fox News Digital. Keith Rivers, 46, now known as 'Cupcake' is currently serving a life sentence for murdering a victim outside of a tavern in 1999.
The original lawsuit, which was filed on behalf of more than 100 trans women in CDOC, alleged the CDOC 'expose them to harassment, rape, sexual assault, and other violence,' at the hands of guards and other inmates. According to one of the attorneys representing the plaintiffs, Paula Greisen, the decree is 'designed to bring new safety measures to protect these women from victimization in the men’s prisons.
