LGBT and Law Enforcement: Issues and Strategies from Arrest to Incarceration

The panel workshop will discuss unique issues that arise in the interaction between LGBT individuals and law-enforcement and corrections systems. The workshop will pay particular attention to issues specific to transgender individuals that arise at all stages, from arrest to incarceration. At the incarceration stage, the workshop will highlight important aspects of human-rights laws relevant to LGBT inmates and review the basic requirements of the Prison Litigation Reform Act and how its provisions impact LGBT clients.

Other topics will include preserving attorney-client privilege, containing costs, and protecting LGBT clients from retaliation. Finally, the panel will discuss issues specific to incarcerated transgender clients, including the availability of hormone therapy, highlighting a recent victory in Gammett v. Idaho State Board of Corrections.
