Washington, D.C.: "The ACLU of the District of Columbia and the Public Defender Service for the District of Columbia are suing the D.C. government to stop the Department of Corrections from incarcerating a transgender woman in the men’s unit of the D.C. Jail. According to the ACLU-DC, the Department of Corrections assigns incarcerated individuals to housing based on their genitalia, not their gender identity. The ACLU-DC says that’s a violation of an individual’s equal protection and due process rights and statutory protections under the D.C. Human Rights Act. Transgender individuals may be moved if the Department of Corrections’s Transgender Housing Committee recommends their reassignment. The ACLU-DC says the committee, made up of DOC staff, a doctor, social worker, mental health clinician and other transgender individuals, has been suspended for more than a year."

Charleston, WV: "A former nursing assistant who killed seven elderly veterans with fatal injections of insulin at a West Virginia hospital was sentenced to life in prison on Tuesday by a federal judge who called her “the monster that no one sees coming.”

Reta Mays has a history of mental health issues, and offered no explanation Tuesday for why she killed the men. But U.S. District Judge Thomas Kleeh told her “you knew what you were doing” before sentencing her to seven consecutive life terms, a punishment that means she’ll likely die in prison.

Mays, 46, pleaded guilty last year in federal court to seven counts of second-degree murder for intentionally injecting the men with unprescribed insulin at the Louis A. Johnson VA Medical Center in Clarksburg.
