Emails by Judy Greenspan and Kevin Weaver that describe the needs for medical and mental healthcare for transgender and gender-variant people within the California State Prison - Corcoran. The letters detail instances of homophobic harassment and discrimination inside the prison. Attached is also a poster advocating for HIV/AIDS awareness and prevention care within California's women's prisons and promoting the first meeting for the HIV In Prison Committee of California Prison Focus.
