This week may be a bit uncomfortable for some as we discuss the difficulties of where to house people who identify as transgender within the prison system, as there’s only two types of prison – male prisons and female prisons.
Is it acceptable to place a male identifying as female into a female prison? Who’s human rights are more important – those of say female prisoners who feel threatened by the trans person or the trans person’s wish to be housed with those female prisoners? Is a situation I'd actually never considered but its a real issue within the prison system
