A year after speaking to the media about being mistreated by police, Antonia Lara is facing life on the streets.
Last March, Lara, a 27-year-old pre-op transgender woman, shared a Twins Falls, Idaho county prison cell for about a week with Majid Kolestani, a 42-year-old transsexual Iranian refugee accused of murder. Lara was facing a charge of providing false information to police.
After her incarceration, Lara turned to the city's paper to complain about their mistreatment at the hands of prison guards.
