A transgender inmate, identifying as female, will soon be transferred to a women’s prison, Minnesota’s Department of Corrections (DOC) announced on Thursday.
Christina Lusk is presently housed at the Minnesota Correctional Facility (MCF) in Moose Lake from a 2018 drug conviction. Since 2008, Lusk has identified as a woman. In 2022, Lusk sued the Minnesota DOC while seeking gender-affirming surgery and a transfer to MCF-Shakopee—the state’s only female prison. In a June 1 press release, the DOC announced that Lusk would be transferred to the female prison next week.
