Dee Farmer was biologically a male and was in estrogen therapy. She had received breast implants and prior to incarceration had unsuccessful testicular-removal surgery. Upon sentencing, prison medical personnel diagnosed her as a transsexual. Over the years she was primarily housed away from the male population of the prison because of misconduct and, oft times, safety concerns. During her time of confinement she wore her clothing in a feminine manner. Hormone drugs were smuggled to her in prison.

Ultimately, she was transferred to a federal penitentiary in Indiana, where she was placed in general population. About two weeks later, she was raped and beaten by another inmate.
