Another female inmate, Faith Booher-Smith, alleged that Williams violently attacked her inside the women’s prison in August 2025. According to reports, Williams allegedly grabbed Booher-Smith from behind, slammed her to the ground, punched and kicked her repeatedly, and stomped on her while corrections officers failed to intervene. Booher-Smith suffered visible injuries including facial bruising and swelling. Independent Women’s Features reported that prison officials were already aware of Williams’ violent behavior before the assault occurred.
“This 6’4”, fully intact man, who had been convicted of sex crimes against a child, was able to allegedly grab Booher-Smith from behind, beat her, and stomp on her,” IW Features wrote in a commentary detailing the attack and broader concerns over Washington’s prison policies.
The DOJ investigation also follows another case involving trans-identifying inmate Amber FayeFox Kim, formerly Bryan Kim, who was transferred out of WCCW after allegedly being caught having sex with a female inmate. Kim is serving a life sentence for murdering his parents.
Documents previously obtained by The Ari Hoffman Show on Talk Radio 570 KVI reportedly showed that as of October 2023, Washington housed approximately 62 trans-identifying biological males in women’s prisons, including convicted rapists and child molesters. The documents allegedly included substantiated complaints of inmate-on-inmate sexual harassment and abuse.
Critics say Washington officials repeatedly ignored warnings from inmates, advocates, and corrections staff about the dangers posed by the policy.
The America First Policy Institute previously stated that it documented dozens of internal complaints from female inmates alarmed by the placement of biological males inside women’s housing units.
Meanwhile, separate investigations into WCCW uncovered additional allegations of misconduct and policy violations inside the prison, including improper uses of force, failures to protect inmates, and prolonged isolation practices.
Despite mounting criticism and a statewide budget crisis, Washington DOC recently posted a six-figure job opening for a “Gender Affirming Medical Specialist” for inmates. The state has also spent hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars on gender reassignment surgeries, hormone therapies, and other transgender-related medical procedures for prisoners.
