Christopher Scott Williams, the cellmate, was initially found guilty of sexually assaulting a young girl and was currently serving an extra word for domestic abuse. Williams, who presently identifies as a trans woman, petitioned to be recognised as feminine and was eventually transferred to a women’s prison. According to the lawsuit, when Williams was placed in the same body as Clark, her life became” a dwelling problem”.
Williams is a sexual resident of the Washington Corrections Center for Women, according to records from the state’s Department of Corrections.

Lack of Protection from Prison Authorities
Clark claims that much was done to protect her when she complained to prison employees about the maltreatment.

Broader Issues at the Center
Not just the criminal who worries about Williams, Clark is. Another slave described unacceptable and obscene behavior by Williams and other transgender prisoners at the facility in August. ” When people are in the rain, these people are simply standing it. They don’t need to have on their tiptoes—they glance over and see everything. Individuals feel so uncomfortable. You feel like you’ve been violated”, an unknown prisoner stated. At least 11 trans prisoners were reportedly a part of the facility’s records at the time.
