From: Department of Corrections

The Arizona Department of Corrections currently has 113 inmates that
self-report as transgender.

111 are housed in men’s facilities and two are housed at the women’s
facility.

The department does not aggregate data regarding inmates prescribed
hormones by the state’s contracted healthcare provider. Such information
would only be maintained in an inmate’s individual medical file and is not
subject to public disclosure.

The department’s PREA annual and facility reports are posted online here:
