ICYMI: Two inmates at an all-female prison in New Jersey are pregnant — after having consensual sex with transgender convicts
"Sonia Doe" had claimed she felt unsafe being imprisoned with men, was repeatedly sexually harassed, mocked and assaulted, denied female care items she needed, and had trouble accessing her hormone medication.
Prison unions meanwhile are against housing trans and cis-gender inmates together — for the sake of the guards, and the prisoners themselves. "We opposed this policy change believing it would be detrimental to the general population of female inmates being housed at Edna Mahan and also bring added stress to our correctional police officers assigned to this institution," William Sullivan, president of NJ PBA Local 105, told the outlet.
Even some of the prisoners themselves are against it: last year two Edna Mahan inmates filed a class-action lawsuit seeking to remove"any and all male pre-operative transgender inmates" from the facility, claiming some had harassed them, and had sex with others. Plans to close the prison have been underway since last year, after an inquiry found prisoners were being beaten and sexually abused by correctional officers there.
