Abstract:
The prison world is gradually required to take greater account of the specific needs of inmates, to adopt a tailor-made approach to sanctioning and to respect the principle of non-discrimination. This can be a complex task, in particular with regards to sexual and gender minorities. This article looks back at the framework document issued by the Swiss Centre of Expertise in Prison and Probation (SCEPP) dedicated to LGBTIQ+ inmates. With a focus on transgender inmates, the article reports on the findings of the research and subsequently provides an analysis of the situation of a transgender inmate in Champ-Dollon prison. Particular emphasis is put on the principle of gender self-determination. According to the authors, this principle is essential to ensure that transgender persons are treated in a way that respects their dignity.
