title: Commentary: gender nonconformity within a conformist correctional culture.
abstract: In this era of increasing civil rights successes for gays and lesbians, transgender individuals are often overlooked. Simopoulos and Khin present guidance for correctional institutions in the comprehensive care of transgender inmates. Their analysis of the legal, medical, and psychiatric concerns for incarcerated transgender and gender-nonconforming people improves professional understanding of a complex subject.
