A 23-year-old transgender inmate at Wisconsin's maximum security prison has sued officials there, claiming they're violating the inmate's rights by not allowing her to live as a woman. Dominique Gulley, also known as Teriyaki Ariana Daniels-Wilds, describes herself as from several ethnic backgrounds and having identified as female since she was 8. Gulley was 15 when she struck and seriously injured a Dane County sheriff's deputy while driving a stolen car in 2008. After she stole another car in 2010, her probation was revoked and she was sentenced to 11 years in prison. The injured deputy later sued the juvenile group home where Gulley was living in 2008 when she stole the car that hit the deputy. The case was settled.
