Ifreann wrote:Special transgender prison unit for three prisoners to open this week.The move comes after the case of Karen White, a transgender prisoner, who sexually assaulted two women while on remand at New Hall jail in Wakefield.
White, who was born male and now identifies as a woman, was described by a judge as a "predator" who was a danger to women and children.
She was given a life sentence for sexual offences.
How will we protect other prisoners from this dangerous predator? I know, a transgender unit! That way she'll only have access to prisoners we don't care about.
Do minor crime while cis = open prison
Do minor crime while trans = special prison unit you'll share with Karen Rapesalot
I don't think that's a fair assessment. According to the article there are about 125 trans prisoners in England and Wales and this unit is only being used to house 3 of them. I'd venture that those 3 are all difficult prisoners.
