How policy affects the lives of transgendered individuals

When we consider anti-discrimination policy within institutions like jails and prisons, the transgendered inmate is faced with further barriers towards
equality. Although specific institutions may have policies in place to protect the well being of the transgender individual, many staff do not follow the ideology that the policy sets out. Staff may not approve of how the transgender individual has chosen to live their life and because they are in a powerful position, they very well may support and be part of the ill treatment of the powerless transgender inmate.
