Prison inmates are being provided with a wide range of transgender treatments funded potentially with U.S. taxpayer money, according to recently obtained documents from the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP).
U.S. prisons are offering inmates transgender care including voice training, laser hair removal devices, surgical procedures such as breast and penis removal, and hormone therapies, according to a June 2023 guidance issued by the BOP that was published by the Heritage Foundation on Nov. 20. The agency told media outlet Just the News that the cost of “medically necessary care” for prison inmates is covered by the bureau’s funds.
