Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Intersex Guidance Project
The National Institute of Corrections (NIC) is soliciting proposals from organizations, groups, or individuals to enter into a cooperative agreement for a 12-month project period.
Work under this agreement will result in a policy guide for corrections practitioners charged with the care and custody of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and intersex (LGBTI) offenders.
In addition to providing guidance in selected operational areas (see Goal 2 and Supplementary Information), the guide will provide:
1) a brief summary of the relevant case law, 2) a description of current terms and definitions relevant to the LGBTI population, including an acknowledgment that these terms evolve and change over time, and 3) a list of topics that should be addressed in initial and ongoing staff training.
Informational resources, websites, and sources for additional support should accompany each of these three areas.
