(Petition) Demand Justice for Jovanie Saldana, Inmate Raped by a Prison Guard

When inmate Jovanie Saldana reported to officials that a guard at Riverside Correction Facility had raped her, she expected justice. Instead, the same authorities she'd turned to for help placed her in even further danger.

Demand justice for Jovanie. »

When officials at the Riverside Correction Facility learned in their investigation that Jovanie is a trans woman, they responded by placing her in a male prison. Here, she will be vulnerable to an even greater chance of s*xual assault.

Worse, according to those same officials, Jovanie's "deceptive" trans identity means that she must also be lying about her rape.

RCF officials have handled Jovanie's case with a shocking disregard for compassion, safety, and human rights. Tell them that assault victims like Jovanie should be protected, not placed in even more danger. »

Thanks for taking action!
