The United States incarcerate several thousand people into its prisons who been proven to violate the law. Most are incarcerated for various types of crimes. Over the years, the prison system accepted all who had been found guilty of an offense. Historically, men and women were lock up in a gender based facility/institution by their physical anatomy even though they may consider themselves the opposite. Today, the LGBTQ movement has cast gender into the light. The idea of gender is no longer determine by just a physical characteristic, by how one feels in spite of the physicality of their body whether male or female. In the prison system today, the battle rages on. Individuals who consider themselves the opposite of their physicality would like for that same gender to perform body searches and pat frisk. The New Jersey Department of Correction is now faced with a dilemma in attempting to fulfill that concept.

Your job, if you choose to accept, is to investigate this dilemma to determine if this is justified. Should the NJDOC give in to this demand by assigning same sex officers to perform body searches and pat frisk to those who may feel they are that sex?

When you finish this assignment, you should have addressed, what is the LGBTQ movement and what they accomplished? And the issues the NJDOC may face because of the movement? Last, do you think if you were a correctional officer, what would you do and what are some pitfalls in embracing this policy?
