CVRJ Agency Screening Policy R-1.03, page 2, section A, paragraph 8, states in part that;
transgender and intersex inmates will be assigned to male or female blocks on a case-by-case
basis and based on the health and safety of the inmate and the security needs of the jail.
The PREA Compliance Manager was interviewed and asked how the agency determines
housing and programs for transgender or intersex inmates. The Compliance Manager stated
that he would meet with the inmate and discuss where the inmate would feel safe. Then a
group consisting of the PREA Coordinator, Compliance Manager, Medical, and Mental health
professionals would meet to discuss where the best place to house the inmate would be. The
compliance manager also stated that the inmate would have full access to all programs.
The evidence collected for this provision shows that the agency does consider housing
assignments involving transgender and intersex individual on a case-by-case basis.
Therefore, through written policy and interviews conducted, the agency has demonstrated that
it meets this provision.
