A female prison inmate who was given a disciplinary citation for refusing a strip search by two prison guards who identified as transgender had her citation removed recently by the Florida Department of Corrections (FDC), according to a Florida state senator.
State Sen. Keith Perry, a Republican from Florida’s 8th District received a tip in early October that an inmate at Lowell Correctional Institution in Ocala, Florida, was given a citation on her disciplinary record for refusing a strip search from two prison guards who identified as transgender women. The inmate confided in a prison volunteer, who relayed the message to Mr. Perry’s office.
