To think rapists do not belong in women’s prisons

I know it’s already happened but seems there are other violent male prisoners hoping to move to female prisons. I’d really like to hear what female prisoners feel about this as the article claims many feel intimidated. This just seem absolutely crazy that this is happening - is there no though or concern all for the women prisoners? I just can’t get my head around this logic.

Rose if in the future prisons were divided by gender instead of sex where would someone non binary or gender fluid go? They do not believe themselves to be male or female so it wouldn't be fair to put them somewhere thry to declare themselves one or the other.

Maybe they could swap round weekly?

Prawn, yes. the hands as well.

I work in the prison estate, and EVERY SINGLE WOMAN I have worked with has been the victim of rape and/or sexual assault as child and/or adult.

God that's horrifying.

How different the criminality of women is, to that of men. How different is their experience.

I don't think you can always tell. What about Thai lady boys, and who remebers 'there's somthing about Miriam' people couldn't tell then.

If your a small man to start with you could make a convincing woman. I agree most of them stick out like a saw thumb, noses are also a big tell - but it's unfair to say to can always tell.
