Reflecting on new trans prisoner placement policies within Canadian federal prisons, in light of recent changes instigated under the Canadian Liberal Trudeau government, we provide knowledge from cisgender correctional officer (CO) recruits regarding these policy changes and underscore their views of working with officers who identify as transgender. Canada’s new policies recognize the presence of trans prisoners and create new protocols accordingly, simultaneously challenging some of the foundational tenets of the carceral system. While overwhelming support exists from cisgender recruits for their trans colleagues, support among a relative minority of COs is contingent upon notions like safety and security grounded in a dominantly cisgender prison culture; a culture we situate within the wider context of an unsettled correctional prison culture.

“我们都在这里做一份工作，这才是最重要的”：Cisgender 惩教人员在不稳定的惩教监狱文化中招募反思

考虑到加拿大联邦监狱中新的跨性别囚犯安置政策，鉴于加拿大自由党特鲁多政府最近发起的变化，我们提供了顺性别惩教人员 (CO) 新兵关于这些政策变化的知识，并强调了他们与识别作为变性人。加拿大的新政策承认跨性别囚犯的存在，并相应地制定了新的协议，同时挑战了监狱系统的一些基本原则。虽然顺性别新兵对其跨性别同事存在压倒性的支持，但相对少数的 CO 的支持取决于安全和安保等概念，这些概念基于以顺性别为主导的监狱文化；一种我们处于不稳定的更广泛背景下的文化惩教监狱文化。
