Transgender and intersex women are not safe in male prison facilities. From being misgendered regularly by staff to strip searched by male officers, Ashlee is living under harmful conditions. Safe housing conditions are a basic human right and people do not belong in cages.

Suggested Script:
Hello, I'm calling/emailing to demand that Ashlee Inscoe, ID number 0568587, stop being stripsearched by male guards and be transferred to a women's prison immediately. As a legally-recognized female, NC Department of Corrections is violating both state + federal law by continuing to house her in a male facility. We demand that Ashlee be transferred to a women's prison NOW!
