Brandon's America: Transgender Muslim inmate who killed baby suing over hijab

A transgender inmate serving a 55-year sentence for strangling her 11-month-old stepdaughter to death filed a civil lawsuit against the prison chaplain for allegedly prohibiting her from wearing a hijab outside her immediate bed quarters, despite identifying as Muslim.
Autumn Cordellionè, also known as Jonathan C. Richardson, is currently serving out her sentence at the Branchville Correctional Facility, an Indiana Department of Correction state prison for men.
According to the lawsuit filed Nov. 30 and obtained by Fox News Digital, a prison chaplain told Cordellionè the hijab was not allowed to be worn outside her immediate bed area.
Cordellionè is seeking $150,000 in damages and the ability to wear the hijab “anywhere I go within the facility.”
“I informed him that I wear the hajib [sic] in order to cover my head and ears for modesty purposes, as I am an Islamic practicing transwoman,” Cordellionè said in the lawsuit.
The chaplain then proceeded to inform Richardson that his listed religious preference is “Wiccan,” a pagan Earth-centered religion with a male god and moon goddess, “and I responded that I am an eclectic practitioner who is a member of the Theosophical Society in America,” Cordellionè alleged in the complaint.
“I practice a diversity of faiths in order to custom tailor my spiritual beliefs to my spiritual needs,” Cordellionè said in the lawsuit.
Cordellionè claimed his 14th amendment, or equal protection clause, was violated by the chaplain’s alleged refusal to let him wear the hijab.
“Male Islamic practitioners are allowed to wear their kufis across the facility, and are not restricted to their bed areas only,” the complaint stated.
She further alleged the chaplain violated her Eighth Amendment rights against cruel and unusual punishment and claimed he was subject to “harassment and ridicule” by other Muslim prisoners.
“He should be aware, as Chaplain, the stigma and shame that is attributed to Islamic women when they go uncovered and without a hijab [sic],” Cordellionè wrote in the complaint. “Women are viewed as whores, tempters of men, and adulterators; by Islamic society both in and out of prison. I have been shunned, made a social pariah, and amongst my own religious community.”

Fox News Digital previously reported, Cordellionè, who was convicted of reckless homicide after strangling her 11-month-old stepdaughter to death in 2001, was suing the Indiana Department of Corrections for not granting her wish to get sex reassignment surgery.
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) is representing Cordellionè in that lawsuit.
An Indiana law, adopted last summer, prohibits the Department of Corrections from using taxpayer dollars to fund sex reassignment surgeries for inmates.
However, the ACLU argues in the lawsuit, filed on Aug. 28, 2023, that the law is a violation of the Eighth Amendment’s prohibition of “cruel and unusual punishment.”
The surgery for Cordellionè “is a medical necessity,” according to the ACLU lawsuit.
Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita’s office told Fox News Digital in a statement on Monday: “The ACLU already gave this convicted murderer of an 11-month-old baby a voice when they tried to make taxpayers foot the bill for his ridiculous gender transition surgery request.”
“Our office didn’t let that happen because regular, law-abiding Hoosiers want to see justice served — not a killer being catered to while serving time behind bars.”
While incarcerated and awaiting trial, correctional officer Lt. James Spence reportedly asked Cordellionè what she was being charged with, to which Cordellionè responded, “murder.”
“At that point, another officer checked Richardson’s [Cordellionè] booking sheet and advised Lieutenant Spence that Richardson was incarcerated for reckless homicide,” court records state. “When Lieutenant Spence relayed that information to Richardson, she stated ‘well all I know is I killed the little f—king bitch.’”
Richardson’s wife subsequently filed for divorce and a restraining order in October 2001, public records indicate.

Unfortunately, that's not "Brandons" America, it's OUR America. Collectively, WE are responsible for our present reality. I and you don't support this, but enough do that here we are.

This should be on some sort of genius level reading comprehension test, because I've read it several times and still don't know what the frick is going on
All I know is that it can be summed up with mental illness

I can't keep track of what's what these days. Does this thing have a dick? If it has a dick it should have to follow the same rules as all the other people with dicks.

Ironically, the promise it won’t be a flood again is the rainbow. Talk about appropriating someone else’s culture.

There is nothing ironic about it.
The reprobates specifically chose it with that knowledge

I’d only serve this POS pork for breakfast lunch and dinner. I’d wash its cloths in pigs blood.

I can guess why they don’t see eye to eye on the subject.
