District police are investigating allegations by a transgender inmate at the D.C. Jail that a correctional officer made death threats against the woman and transgender activist Earline Budd, who conducts sensitivity training for jail personnel.

Silvia Lane, a spokesperson for the D.C. Department of Corrections, which has jurisdiction over the jail, said DOC officials are cooperating with the police investigation and have transferred the officer to another assignment pending completion of the investigation.

"We take this matter very seriously," Lane told the Blade.
