Am I loosing my mind or does a significant number of people who view themselves as leftists truly believe that prisons should be mixed sex?? I've seen repeated arguments today that since female on female violence exists we could just let men in. Wtf is wrong with these people?
I'll repeat myself: The acceptable number of women raped in prison is 0. The acceptable number of transwomen raped in prison is also 0. Since its impossible to tell who will be a threat to women (though convicted for rape is a strong indicator) third spaces is the only solution.
Also as always the vast majority of women, men and trans people in prison don't belong there and should be freed immediately. Non violent offenders without a doubt. People (esp women) convicted for acting in self defense - without a doubt. Rapists and batters should rot though.
How anyone can condone the transfer of convicted male rapists of women & children to women's prisons where we know the majority are survivors of childhood abuse, rape and intimate partner violence is beyond me. This is torture in an already traumatising environment. STOP IT NOW!
