I think one argument is that these men are at risk from other men, and the response is that they should of course be kept safe from other prisoners. But it's not the responsibility of the women prisoners to fix this, but of the state. They'd be safer out of prison, too, but we don't just, as a society, decide we should do that...
I believe (maybe someone can verify or tell me I'm wrong) that there was an idea originally of having a special area in the men's prisons, but that Chase Strangio and others did not want this (although some prisoners thought it was fine).
It’s very very true this article. And I wish they would look into Lowell CI in Florida DOC, for the woman there as well. It’s horrendous what those women have to deal with daily, and… nightly. (And side note, what does the one comment mean — they’d be safer out of prison, too?) anyways wrong is wrong no matter how anyone chooses to frame it.
I know not every person who classifies as a woman means anyone harm, but I see there are challenges for all involved. What a tricky obstacle to work with that’s fair and just for all. But shoot… I’m sure the female inmates are more concerned with the officers on the real. They can be the most dangerous as Lowell CI in the Florida DOC proves.
Just watched your recent video listed above "Beyond Race: ...Multiracial Identity..." with Eli Steele and Greg Thomas. Excellent. I recommend that all watch it.
Also, thank you for getting involved in protecting incarcerated women.
Thank you!
