Also, I think it’s about time that we looked into the differences between sentencings and conditions between male and female prisoners no? I mean, if some men are so desperate that they ‘pretend’ to be women to get an easier ride in the justice system, doesn’t that speak to something that should be looked at?

But what about the women who are now subject to a peadophile/ sex offender because this person claims to be female?

If this has already been charged with sexual related offences, why should they get to go to a ‘safer’ prison where there’s a good chance that they may re-offend?

I agree that prisons can be awful and definitely need to be looked at, but in the end the only victims here are the dog, the kids who were sexually abused and then the women who may be at risk.
