AB Although  there  are  currently  no  systematic  efforts  to  document  the  number  of  transgender  and  gender  diverse  (TGD)  people  in  U.S.  jails  and  prisons,  research  finds  that  TGD  people  are  disproportionately  incarcerated  in  the  United  States  relative  to  the  general  population.1  Some  evidence  suggests  that  16%  of  the  estimated  1.4  million  transgender  adults  in  the  United  States2  have  been  incarcerated  in  their  lifetime,3  compared  with  just  3%  of  the  general  U.S.  population.4  Although  both  trans  feminine  people  and  trans  masculine  people  are  at  disproportionate  risk  for  incarceration,  the  incarceration  rate  is  particularly  elevated  among  trans  feminine  people,  with  lifetime  estimates  of  incarceration  ranging  from  19%  to  65%  across  studies.3,5–7
