SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) Records that could potentially identify dozens of transgender inmates in state prisons must remain sealed for now, a federal judge in Spokane has ruled.
The Spokesman-Review reported that U.S. District Court Judge Thomas O. Rice on Monday granted a preliminary order sought by five unnamed transgender inmates, represented by Disability Rights Washington and the American Civil Liberties Union.
The order prohibits the Washington Department of Corrections from releasing records sought by the Tacoma News Tribune, KIRO Radio and several other requesters regarding any complaints made against transgender inmates at the Washington Corrections Center for Women in Gig Harbor following an anonymous report of sexual violence there earlier this spring.
