54 Towards the Effective Protection of LGBTI Persons Deprived of Liberty tablishment of Evaristo de Moraes, which hosts most of the trans and travesti detainees in the State of Rio de Janeiro (including 79 travesties at the time of the visit), as well as other detainees in situations of vulnerability. During its visit, the LPM used a methodology that combined focus groups and other interviews. At the outset of the interviews, the LPM staff asked detainees which pronouns and names were appropriate to use. The visit revealed that trans and travesti detainees were subjected to mocking, insults, and harassment by prison guards; faced barriers in initiating or continuing hormone therapies; were forced to wear men’s uniforms and obliged to renounce their visitation rights for fear of being humiliated by guards. An insufficiency of contraceptives and the lack of complaint mechanisms were also noted. Most trans women and travesties said that they would prefer to remain in the male prison as opposed to being transferred to a facility for female offenders. The LPM stressed in its report that trans and travesti detainees’ consent should be sought prior to any transfer decision.
