Oh give me a break. She is CLEARLY identifying as a woman, and she even said that if she went to a male prison she would commit suicide. Why on earth did they ignore this and send her there anyway??
The legal status should have been sorted out BEFORE sending her into an environment she would be attacked, harrassed, and experience poor mental health - and suicide, the unfortunate end result.

Well, we know that she said that she would kill herself if sent to a male prison - so we can logically make the assumption that she was not sent there without concern raised. And regarding your last statement, mental health of prisoners is important regardless of crimes committed.. and though she may have broken the rules of her sentence (I must have flicked past that), she is still a human being - and with transgender people, they face a lot of discrimination and why the hell she was sent there I want to know. The people responsible should be sacked or worse.
