California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation claims requests are reviewed by a classification committee rather than granted automatically.<\/p>\n<p>Formally known as the\u00a0Transgender Respect, Agency and Dignity Act, it allows inmates to be housed based solely on their stated gender identity. Critics of the law say this enables male prisoners to exploit the system in order to be housed with women. <\/p>\n<p>Carroll, 52, has been charged with raping three woman while imprisoned in the Central California Women\u2019s Facility in Chowchilla.

women\u2019s groups are using mobile billboards emblazoned with stark warnings including \u201cWomen in CA Prisons Raped by Male Inmates,\u201d \u201cIncarcerated Women Matter,\u201d and \u201cSB 132: State-Sanctioned Rape \u2013 Media Silent.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The DOJ has not yet reached any conclusions on the rape claims, the department noted in a press release. <\/p>\n<p>Its investigation in California will focus on Central California Women\u2019s Facility and California Institution for Women, located in San Bernardino County. The justice department will probe whether practices around transgender inmates violates the Civil Rights of Institutionalized Persons Act, according to a press release. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cCalifornia\u2019s Transgender Respect, Agency, and Dignity Act has provided none of these<br \/>qualities to the female inmates of state prisons who have been forced to share space with<br \/>biological men who are violent felons,\u201d added First Assistant United States Attorney Bill<br \/>Essayli of the Central District of California in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>The DOJ said it is also gathering info on trans prison inmates anywhere in the country.<\/p>\n<p>In February, a Madera County judge has ruled Tremaine Carroll must be referred to using she\/her\u00a0pronouns because Carroll identifies as a woman.<\/p>\n<p>Madera County District Attorney Sally Moreno slammed the decision, saying Moreno is abusing California\u2019s prison housing law and said the pronoun ruling risks confusing jurors and complicating the prosecution.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a particular issue in this case because it\u2019s confusing to the jury. In California, rape is a crime that has to be accomplished by a man,\u201d Moreno told ABC7.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s no psychological evaluation required. This person does not need to be on cross-gender hormones. They don\u2019t need to be signed up for transgender surgery. They don\u2019t need a psychological evaluation regarding gender confusion.
