Welcome to the Trans+ People in Canadian Prisons Project.

This research project is trying to better understand the experiences of transgender, non-binary, Two-Spirit, and other gender-diverse individuals (also called Trans+ people) within Canadian Federal Prisons.

We are interested in learning more about how current policies and procedures for Trans+ prisoners are being carried out and what challenges are arising at different levels throughout in this process.

We hope that what we report from this project will affect future Correctional Services of Canada (CSC) policies and procedures.
