Thank you for your inquiry.

In response to your question, I can not speak for the State of California, but when they are sentenced to the Oregon Department of Corrections,  they are assigned by the gender they are at the time of sentencing.  
I hope this answers your question.  Please let me know if you have further questions.

Thank you for contacting the Oregon Department of Corrections.
