JACKSON, MI – A transgender woman imprisoned at the G. Robert Cotton Correctional Facility in Jackson is suing the state prison system after allegedly being raped and sexually violated twice at the all-male facility in early 2020.
The lawsuit, filed March 2 in U.S. District Court Eastern District of Michigan, alleges the Michigan Department of Corrections failed to abide by its own policies leading the plaintiff, identified only as Jane Doe in the lawsuit, to be housed with a convicted murderer and sex offender who raped her within 24 hours of being bunked together.
