Resource: Does v. Washington State Department of Corrections

Does v. Washington State Department of Corrections, et al., E.D. Wash. No. 4:21-cv-05059-TOR, is a federal class-action lawsuit challenging the way the Washington Department of Corrections (DOC) responds to Public Records Act requests for information about people in custody DOC has identified as transgender, non-binary, and/or intersex. The plaintiffs, represented by Disability Rights Washington, the ACLU of Washington, and private counsel, contend that DOC’s responses to such requests would reveal class members’ status as transgender, non-binary, and/or intersex and other private information such as their experiences surviving sexual violence and certain medical and mental health information.
