Another Very Bad Idea from California, but the real surprise is it’s not alone here. Why this is being given serious consideration is beyond me.<\/p>\n

Zachary Evans<\/strong><\/p>\n The California prison system has received 261 applications since January 1 from transgender, intersex, or non-binary inmates to transfer to facilities that match their preferred gender identity, the Los Angeles Times reported on Monday.<\/p>\n The requests were filed after a state law came into effect allowing transgender inmates to transfer to different prisons. Around 1 percent of prisoners in California, 1,129 inmates in total, have notified the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation that they are transgender, intersex, or non-binary.<\/p>\n The transfers have been welcomed by transgender women who reported suffering sexual violence while incarcerated at men\u2019s prisons. However, inmates at Central California Women\u2019s Facility in Chowchilla told the Times that staff have warned them of potential sexual violence from men who may try to take advantage of the transfer system.<\/p>\n Guards said \u201cthat if we think it\u2019s bad now, be prepared for the worst. That it\u2019s going to be off the hook, it\u2019s going to be jumping,\u201d inmate Tomiekia Johnson told the Times. \u201cThey say we\u2019re going to need a facility that\u2019s going to be like a maternity ward. They say we\u2019re going to have an inmate program where inmates become nannies.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<\/p>\n Other states including Massachusetts and Connecticut have legislation similar to California\u2019s allowing inmate transfers. The first such transfer took place in 2019, after a transgender woman jailed in Massachusetts sued the state in order to be placed in a women\u2019s prison.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Enabling psychiatric disorders doesn’t help anyone, especially in this case the female inmates who are being subjected to this ill-advised social experiment.
