sued the Georgia DOC last year. Diamond’s suit says the state has housed her in men’s prisons, failed to protect her from sexual assault, and denied her the health care she needed.Without taking a stand on the facts of the case — that is, whether the abuse alleged by Diamond actually occurred — the department said prisons must assure the safety of all those within their walls, including trans inmates.“The United States submits that the Eighth Amendment requires prison officials to conduct individualized assessments that lead to reasonably safe conditions of confinement and adequate medical care for all prisoners,” the DOJ statement reads.
