I think everyone who thinks it's ok to imprison women with men ought to spend a week locked inside with this dude.

We've had issues here in Germany too.

Because the world literally doesn't car about harm to women and children.

And doubly doesn't care about women (and children) in prison.

I fucking despair about how unimportant women’s rights and safety are to most men. FFS.

This also happens here and in Canada. Some male sex offenders put in mother and baby unit. Including paedophiles.

Who sanctions this? Why do Canadians put up with this? It is a stain on the country.

According to Jornal de Notícias, in September 2025 António attempted to drown a female inmate in a toilet. The following month, he reportedly assaulted another female inmate and two female prison guards.
Despite the clear danger he posed, António was subsequently moved to Tires – another women-only facility. Alarmingly, he was placed in Casa das Mães, a unit designated for mothers and their babies.

mothers and babies.....I'm genuinely speechless

It beggars belief. How do the decision makers avoid prison themselves?

Wouldn't it be wonderful if Nicola Sturgeon and Shona Robison could be made aware of this.

This is shocking. Currently the Scottish government is still fighting to keep men in women's prisons. I hope one of our remaining good msps raises this in parliament.

I know and yet our residents scolders will trill that there are no problems with self ID in other countries

Yet again women and children aren't important enough to trump men's feelings.

'SNCGP representatives demanded António’s transfer to the Monsanto men’s prison and threatened to call a workers’ strike if he was not removed from the women’s estate.'
