The suspicion that some jail inmates establish as ladies in an effort to get right into a ladies’s jail the place they will obtain higher dwelling situations and entry to ladies has, as soon as once more, confirmed true. As reported by Andrea Blanco of the Every day Mail, an investigation has been launched after two ladies inmates in New Jersey’s solely all-women’s jail turned pregnant after having intercourse with transgender inmates. Final yr, the jail began housing former male inmates who now establish as lady and so far 27 transgenders are residing within the 800 inmate facility. This coverage was adopted to settle an ACLU lawsuit in opposition to New Jersey claiming that stopping transgender criminals from serving their sentences in a ladies’s jail constituted discrimination. ACLU Authorized Director Jeanne LoCicero instructed reporters, “It’s in step with New Jersey’s robust anti-discrimination legal guidelines that forestall discrimination and harassment on the premise of gender identification.” A Division of Corrections spokesperson stated that the pregnant inmates engaged in intercourse with the transgender inmates voluntarily. Final yr a lawsuit was filed by two lady inmates in search of a ruling to revoke the coverage citing sexual exercise between feminine and transgender inmates. Extra to return….no pun supposed.
