What happened to women’s rights in California?

In California, men who pretend to be women (including rapists) can be housed with women.  I previously blogged about this.  See SB 132 Endangers Women Prisoners and Cruel and Unusual Punishment: Men in Women’s Prisons.

Amended Complaint Filed July 19, 2024

Filed on July 19, 2024, The amended complaint adds two additional plaintiffs and three more years of evidence of the failure of prison “self-ID” policies like SB 132.  See WLF Amended Complaint 7.19.2024

The amended complaint in the case of Chandler v. CDCR details years of abuse and trauma in California women’s prisons following the implementation of a 2020 law that allows male offenders, including rapists, to “self-identify” into being housed with female prisoners.

Violations of the First, Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments

The new filing includes detailed evidence of harm caused to women under this law, including violations of the First, Eighth, and Fourteenth Amendments.

This complaint, filed on July 19 2024, also introduces two additional plaintiffs to the case — Channel Johnson and Cathleen Quinn, both of whom were victimized by men transferred under SB 132. They join the four original plaintiffs: Janine Chandler, Krystal Gonzalez, Tomiekia Johnson, and Nadia Romero.
