## Resource

Nevada lawmakers are closely monitoring whether new prison reforms—designed to protect transgender inmates and slash solitary confinement—are actually making a difference. While laws like Senate Bill 153 ensure proper care for gender-diverse prisoners and Senate Bill 307 restricts solitary to last-resort, short-term use, troubling data shows nearly half of solitary confinements involve Black inmates, and usage spiked last year due to transfers. Over 70% of those isolated cite safety concerns, sometimes even self-initiated. Officials aim to eliminate solitary entirely but face staffing shortages and a lack of mental health clinicians to review cases after 15 days. Though protocols for trans inmates are in place, lawmakers haven’t heard directly from incarcerated people about how these changes are impacting their lives. Progress is underway, but real-world effectiveness remains uncertain. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
