Indiana judge rules prison must provide transgender surgery for homosexual inmate who killed baby

NNTP-Posting-Host:  null

A federal judge has ruled that it would be unconstitutional for 
an Indiana prison to deny a transgender inmate sex reassignment 
surgery following the inmate's lawsuit against the facility.

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) sued the Indiana 
Department of Corrections last year on behalf of a transgender 
inmate, Jonathan C. Richardson, also known as Autumn 
Cordellion� who was convicted of strangling his 11-month-old 
stepdaughter to death in 2001.

Indiana law, however, prohibits the Department of Corrections 
from using taxpayer dollars to fund sex reassignment surgeries 
for inmates. However, the ACLU argues in the lawsuit, filed on 
Aug. 28, 2023, that the law is a violation of the Eighth 
Amendment𠏋 prohibition of "cruel and unusual punishment."

The surgery for Richardson, who is serving out a 55-year prison 
sentence for reckless homicide, "is a medical necessity," 
according to the ACLU lawsuit.

Judge Richard Young agreed with the ACLU's claims and ruled in 
favor of Cordellione�last week.

"Specifically, Ms. Cordellione�has shown that her gender 
dysphoria is a serious medical need, and that, despite other 
treatments Defendant has provided her to treat her gender 
dysphoria, she requires gender-affirming surgery to prevent a 
risk of serious bodily and psychological harm," the ruling 
states.

The DOC must now take "all reasonable actions" to ensure 
Cordellione�undergoes sex surgery, according to the order.

Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita, a Republican, said in a 
post on X that his office is still reviewing the judge's 
decision, "but you can undoubtedly expect our office to appeal 
this decision."

"An Indiana inmate convicted of murder wants our taxpayers to 
fund their gender-altering surgery! Hoosiers do NOT want thism" 
Rokita said.
