D.C. jail agrees to improve housing policies for transgender inmates as part of lawsuit settlement

"No one should face what I had to face at the D.C. Jail. DOC put my safety and mental health at risk, and I’m glad that other trans people at the Jail will be treated with more dignity,” said Sunday Hinton. Last year she sued the D.C. Department of Corrections after she was forced to live in a men's unit for more than two weeks.
