Colorado Continues Its Abuse of Incarcerated Trans Woman After Brutal Rape

On May 7, Colorado representatives introduced a resolution urging the Colorado Department of Corrections (CDOC) to create a policy in line with federal regulations protecting transgender inmates.

The resolution was inspired by Lindsay Saunders-Velez, a transgender inmate who was reportedly raped just hours after a judge denied her request to be moved from a disciplinary unit where she was being tormented by other inmates.
