The trans insanity has come to prisons across the United States.
In her reporting on this phenomenon, our own Caroline Downey has found that at least eleven male convicts — many of whom committed violent crimes against women and children — are currently housed at Washington State’s women’s prison, colloquially called “Purdy,” where they can be transferred without ever undergoing surgery or hormonal treatment. Under the guise of “inclusion,” in other words, male felons with violent criminal histories have been granted access to vulnerable women to prey upon.
Downey has documented multiple cases of male inmates sexually abusing female residents at Purdy since 2021. Male inmate Jonathan, known as “Jazzy,” was accused of sexual assault in multiple complaints filed by female inmates. In one instance, a female inmate woke up in bed to find Jonathan “touching her all over” while he had an erection. A mentally disabled female inmate was sexually abused by male inmate Hobby Bingham, who was incarcerated for raping a twelve-year-old girl and preferred to be called “Princess Zoee Marie Andromeda Love.” This year, Downey uncovered that Bryan Kim, a male felon convicted for murdering his parents, was caught having a prohibited sexual encounter with a female inmate in Purdy. After NR published her report, Kim was transferred back to a men’s prison because of “ongoing safety concerns.”
Of course, Purdy is not the only women’s facility where male prisoners have been transferred out of respect for “transgender rights” and proceeded to commit violence against female inmates. In Pennsylvania, four female inmates at a women’s prison filed a lawsuit in 2011 after being forced to share a jail cell with male inmate Jovanie Saldana, who allegedly sexually harassed and groped them. In New York, a female former prisoner filed a lawsuit claiming she was groped and raped by a male inmate who posed as a woman. In Illinois, a female inmate filed a lawsuit claiming to have been raped by a male inmate and further alleged that the state’s Department of Corrections officials conducted a “sham investigation” to cover up the incident.
Self-identification policies for “gender identity” grant a person easy access into spaces reserved for the opposite sex — and men who have committed terrible crimes against women and children have a depraved motivation to enter such places. Indeed, a male child molester currently being housed in Purdy has repeatedly sexually harassed a female inmate who is herself a victim of child rape, the victim told Downey. Christopher Williams, who sexually assaulted his nine-year-old sister, made predatory, lewd remarks toward Mozzy Clark-Sanchez, touched her while she was sleeping, tried to solicit sex from her, and watched her while she was showering, Clark-Sanchez said. According to a 2022 document from the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, there were nearly 300 offenders in male facilities who “identify as transgender, intersex, or non-binary” and sought transfer to a women’s facility; of those, a third were registered sex offenders, and a quarter were convicted of a sex offense. Perhaps unsurprisingly, a 51-year-old man who claimed to be a woman was transferred out of a women’s facility in California this year after he faced two charges of forcible rape and another charge of “dissuading a witness from testifying.”
Female inmates should be guaranteed a facility free from men in which to pay their debt to society. Under these more stable conditions, they may even stand a chance of finding rehabilitation and self-improvement. Not only are prison systems across the country failing at this basic task, they are introducing men with horrific records and propensities. And then, as Downey has learned, when it goes wrong, prison authorities try to avoid accountability and hide the facts from the public.
Dostoevsky said that a society can be judged by its prisons. Ours are in the grip of the same irrational ideology as so many other American institutions.
