A federal appeals court halted a court order that would have forced Oregon corrections officials to ensure they are not relying on men’s prisons to hold incarcerated transgender women. At the time, Clarke pointed to statistics showing more than 90% of Oregon inmates who identify as transgender women are housed in male prisons. Nearly 120 people have identified as transgender women to prison officials in Oregon, representing less than 1% of the state’s total incarcerated population, court records show. Oregon attorneys have also pointed to some instances where incarcerated trans women posed security threats due to previous crimes against women, though they have not alleged that trans women are statistically more likely to be security threats in women’s prisons. “I wouldn’t concede at this point that the court order would mandate that any particular person would be moved to Coffee Creek.”
