Judicial review for woman prisoner alleging sexual assault by trans rapist in prison

The Sunday Times reporting a long overdue judicial review after an (alleged) sexual assault on a woman prisoner by a male born trans rapist who had been placed in a female prison. (trying to be careful with language given the oppressive monitors who try to control this board).

And they've reported on the Centre Parks issue as well as a prominent article about that major brands like Unilever and Heinz advertising on Pornhub that's awash with child sex abuse. Share token:

No one cares about women. No one cares if those female prisoners get raped. And how is saying that, and campaigning to protect them, "transphobia"?. Those mtf prisoners should never, ever, be placed among women. Fox in henhouse indeed.

As usual, the desires and feelings of men, including rapists, always supercede women's rights and safety and dignity.

It should never have reached the point of a court case, but here we are. I cannot imagine the terror of these vulnerable women stuck in a location with a rapist. A RAPIST.

The unit, E Wing, is intended to accommodate transgender women who present an unmanageable risk, but the claim states that they come into contact with women in the gym and during courses on education, religious study, faith awareness and substance misuse as well as in employment.

unmanageable risk

Ha. Ha. Ha.

Why does it matter if the people who sexually assaulted women in women's jails have a GRC or not ?

These people have penises therefore they should be in the male estate. Maybe within a separate wing in that estate, if the authorities feel that is more appropriate.

But the one place people with penises should not be, is in women's jail literally locked up with vulnerable women.

It was asking for women to be attacked, and this women is not the first and unless they change the guidelines again...she will not be the last victim either :(

Women have no rights in this country do they?
That's not true, they have the right to remain silent.

Smallblanket · 03/11/2019 08:48

How about it being a condition of having a GRC that it is rescinded on convicted of rape or sexual assault. And that a conviction for rape means you are ineligible for a GRC.

Just a suggestion...

NOW they want a review? Why not a long time ago? Jeez. Women have no rights in this country do they?

You would hope for a common sense approach that placing someone convicted of the rape of a woman ( a male crime) would never be placed in a female prison. But uniquely trans lobby groups get to influence the placement of trans prisoners (no regulatory capture here, oh no Hmm ) So it appears the demands of the rapist to be placed alongside women were promptly enabled by the Ministry of Justice.

Fox and henhouse comes to mind.

I'm glad the policy will be reviewed.

A little hard to tell from that article whether or not the prisoners transferred or held in the female estate or the specialist unit had GRCs or not. That's relevant for me as a general opponent of the GRA.
