WJP Infographic: The Incarceration of Trans, Nonbinary, Intersex & Gender Expansive People

WJP’s new infographic, The Incarceration of Trans, Nonbinary, Intersex & Gender Expansive People, focuses on the racist targeting, prosecution, and incarceration of trans and gender expansive people and the horrific conditions faced inside prisons and jails across the United States. National data documenting these realities are limited; TGNBI people are routinely erased in government studies because gender is reduced to sex assigned at birth. We hope this publication supports the critical efforts of activists working to end mass incarceration and uplift the experiences, power, and leadership of trans and gender expansive communities.

We are deeply grateful to our expert reviewers whose brilliance grounded and informed this publication.
