Trans rapist in woman’s prison ?

This male to female transgender prisoner, still had male genitalia. Sorry, no place for a penis in a female prison.

I guess it begs the question should rapists be incarcerated in isolation or imprisoned together .

I beleive the problem is that this person is a Trans rapist , as opposed to just transgender.

So it isn't a trans issue it concerns all prisoners. Where do you put violent people and protect ordinary prisoners? I think Scotland had an interesting programme to deal with violent prisoners.

Yes I guess the whole system needs reviewing, but with underfunding & understaffing it’s not going to happe any time soon.

So where do we put women who assault women or men who assault men? Do we in fact need to look at the whole prison system which is still very much run on Victorian lines?

Rape is wrong, man-on-woman, woman-on- man, man-on-man, woman-on-woman......Prisons are overcrowded and understaffed, there should be better protection for all prisoners against all kinds of attacks.

I beleive she was initially in a womans prison where she carried out an assault & was then moved to a male prison.( sorry I am no good at doing links)
The discussion also covers wither or not a person has physically transitioned or is self identifying

Sorry has this happened ? Is it going to happen? And whilst we are on about it what about male rapists in men's prisons? Should they be accommodated somewhere else as well? Or do we just accept male rape as part of prison life?

No, I don't think it is acceptable. A trans person's basic human rights should be protected of course, but so should those of non-trans women. There has already been in the news a story of someone who "identifies as a woman" sexually assaulting four women in a female-only prison.

If trans women are not safe in men's prisons, then we need trans prisons as well.
