A rapist who had no history of being trans, but claimed he was trans, was housed for one night in a separate cell within the 'estate' of a womens' prison while they decided what to do with him. He had no contact with any of the female inmates and the next day was transferred to a mens' prison when they decided his claim was bogus. Don't believe everything you read in the British press. >It's utter lunacy and anyone who attempts to defend it is > likewise mentally-ill. I agree - but you have the wrong target. It was utter lunacy on the part of the prison authorities who were so stupid they didn't realise what a meal the gutter press would make of it.
