Male guilty of sex abuse of children - will be housed in a women's prison

I'm so sick of seeing reports like this.

The Equality Act 2010 states that transwomen (males) can legally be excluded from single-sex places for women, if it is a proportionate means of achieving a legitimate aim.

That applies to prison accommodation where prisoners' safety and privacy from the opposite sex should be priorities .

Yet male criminals are routinely being housed in women's prisons.

In my opinion the death sentence has no place in a civilised society.
What about the recently publicised case of a black man being wrongly hung for a crime he didnt commit? The waves from that have affected generations.

I imagine there will be a number of women in that prison keen to remove certain parts of his body. Unless he's given the privilege of a single cell he's not going to be able to sleep very soundly ............. is he?

Transwoman / Transbaby prisoner is being pandered to - in women's prison, of course.

Former Justice Minister, Baron Wolfson of Tredegar, clearly understands the reality of biological sex yet still thinks that prisoners who are transwomen (men) should be in women's prison.

Case-by-case is ridiculous. There should be no situation where a male prisoner is housed with women, however he identifies.

I notice it doesn't even mentioned who was killed and whether it was someone male/female

It was a young man called Paul
