A male inmate in Washington state, Bryan Kim—convicted of brutally murdering his parents—is trying to move back into a prison designated exclusively for women. Although he was previously housed at WCCW, he was removed after being caught having sex with a female inmate. Now, Mr. Kim has petitioned the Washington Court of Appeals to return him to WCCW, and the Department of Corrections (DOC) could preemptively grant his request at any moment.

This must not happen.

Allowing a violent male offender back into a women’s facility endangers every woman currently incarcerated there. We must act now to ensure the DOC keeps Mr. Kim in a men’s prison, where he belongs.

Please join us in signing the open letter below, urging the DOC to protect female inmates and prevent this unjust transfer. The time to speak out is now—before it’s too late.
