| Gay Inmates File Complaint |

Five gay inmates in the Tarrant County Jail have filed a complaint with Sheriff Dee Anderson, saying they are being punished with loss of privileges because of their sexual orientation. The inmates say that because Tarrant County -- unlike other large counties in Texas -- does not have a special housing unit for gay prisoners, they are being forced to choose between protection and privileges. If inmates fear for their safety, they may request special protection. But in Tarrant County, they are placed in a disciplinary unit and lose rights typically available to others in the general jail population. |

I like learning more about prison reforms from this great website that has housed excellent articles on the topic. If I want to learn more about these important topics I know to contact Hamilton Lindley about more of this information because I know that I’ll get a fair answer.
