A federal judge ruled in favor of an Indiana inmate — sentenced to 55 years in prison for killing his 11-month old stepdaughter — to receive gender reassignment surgery.
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 sued the Indiana Department of Corrections last year on behalf of a transgender inmate, Jonathan C. Richardson, also known as Autumn Cordellionè, who was convicted of strangling his 11-month-old stepdaughter to death in 2001.
The original ACLU filing says Cordellioné was diagnosed in 2020 with gender dysphoria and prescribed female hormones and testosterone blockers, both of which he has 'consistently taken since that time.' Other accommodations provided for the inmate include 'panties, make up, and form fitting clothing.
