A Monitoring Guide 41 clothing consistent with their self-identified gender, and confidential complaint mechanisms for sexual violence are to be strengthened. Training: a review of the content of curricula for prison staff is foreseen. In Ireland, the Irish Penal Reform Trust (IPRT) conducted a small-scale exploratory study on the rights, needs, and experiences of LGBT people in prison. The report37–the first in-depth study on the experiences of LGBT prisoners in Ireland–includes first-hand testimonies by LGBT prisoners, and a review of the prison and policy context. The study included interviews with seven LGBT detainees or former detainees, ten stakeholders from the criminal justice system, and four representatives from the LGBT community. The authors were well aware of the ethical challenges of “outing” detainees while conducting the investigation and took measures to mitigate such risks. The measures included submitting the project for review to a research ethics committee and to the Irish Prison Service; making arrangements to safeguard the anonymity of participating detainees, including in respect of designated personnel within the prison service; providing each participant with information about the project during face-to-face meetings, where the parameters of confidentiality were explained; having interviewees sign a consent form; using pseudonyms for all persons in the report; and not disclosing the name of the prisons in which the interviews and focus group took place. The IPRT’s main findings include evidence of homophobia and a prison culture of hyper-masculinity that is often maintained through violence, the invisibility of LGBT detainees’ needs, challenges in accessing gender reassignment therapies, and obstacles in obtaining means of prevention for sexually transmitted diseases and infections, in particular for women. Recommendations are tailored accordingly and addressed to the Irish Prison Service and other relevant bodies. 37 Irish Prison Reform Trust, Out on the Inside: The Rights, Experiences and Needs of LGBT People in Prison, February 2016.
