SALT LAKE CITY — The Utah Department of Corrections came under fire Tuesday for discriminating against a transgender inmate who the U.S.
Department of Justice said was driven to harm herself after she was repeatedly denied hormone therapy in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act. A federal investigation found that the state corrections department imposed “unnecessary barriers” to block the incarcerated trans woman from receiving treatment for intense gender dysphoria.
“All people with disabilities including those who are incarcerated are protected by the ADA and are entitled to reasonable modifications and equal access to medical care, and that basic right extends to those with gender dysphoria,” said Kristen Clarke, assistant attorney general of the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division. The department’s investigation revealed that Utah corrections officers had unnecessarily delayed the woman’s hormone treatment even as her mental health worsened.
