A federal judge has ordered the Illinois prison system to allow transgender prisoners to pick their own prisons, a report says.

The order from the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Illinois demands that the Illinois Department of Corrections must make a number of changes to its procedures for placing prisoners.

The order handed down by Judge Nancy Rosenstengel mandates that the IDC must “ensure timely hormone therapy is provided when necessary and perform routine monitoring of hormone levels” for transgender prisoners.
