- Transgender people in prison face a litany of challenges in prison, including higher rates of sexual assault. A 2015 study found incarcerated people were 10 times more likely to be sexually assaulted in prison. CBSN Bay Area's Michelle Griego spoke with Shaheen Pasha, co-founder of the Prison Journalism Project, and Lisa Strawn, a transgender activist, about what it's like to be transgender behind bars.
They should put transgenders in a unit together and hire transgender guards to work in the pods with them
How about just not break the law?
I was almost sent to prison for seven years and I didn’t do anything. I remember how evil the prosecutor was and how he belittled my character. I lost my business, my so called friends and family. I lost damn near everything I worked for, I worked hard and honest. And in the end I got fuc-d. You don’t have to break the law. All you have to do is get on the radar and piss off the wrong people. I’m literally broken now and I have a civil engineering degree. The justice system is broken and many people are labeled criminals who are not.
do you think people commit crimes for fun? these people are here because they wanted to survive in their situation, you act like you wouldnt steal or do something to stay healthy and fed.
Isn't the whole point of prison for you to lose your freedom because you broke the law? So why are you here complaining about not getting to dress up and wear makeup? Maybe THAT'S why there are people who don't like you. Let's focus on why you went to prison and what you learned and won't do again so that you're now allowed to walk free.
You do lose most of your freedom when you are in prison, but one constitutional right that isn't taken away is the right to not be subjected to discriminatory violence at the hands of other citizens.
@@TroyaJamilyn yet it happens anyway. It’s just part of prison culture.
@@TroyaJamilyn then go cry about all the men that identify as men that face this abuse. Why only give a shit when it's trans people.
@@milesmayhem5440 Yeah, and when it happens it's a criminal act and when the perpetrators are caught, their prison sentences get longer.
Just make trans prisons with trans personnel. The media needs to stop harboring these delusions. That man said he’s going through male menopause and female puberty? He should be in an asylum.
so the people who are smart enough to accept themself are delusional, but the person that goes out of their way to hate them isnt? sure man
Then don’t commit crimes.
What's your advice for people who are convicted of crimes they didn't commit, which happens quite regularly here in the US?
My advice is to find out who the toughest guy is in there and kick they ass. Nobody will mess witchu after that.
@@milesmayhem5440 Your advice to a person going to prison for a crime they didn't commit is to commit a crime?
@@TroyaJamilyn yes, it’s a paradox I know, but the prison system has rules and a culture all its own. It isn’t right, it isn’t wrong, it just is.
@@milesmayhem5440 It's wrong indeed. You're suggesting that someone who is convicted of a crime they didn't commit should commit a crime that will result in more prison time, and making it extremely difficult to have the conviction overturned, as means to protect themselves from actual criminals. Do the world a favor and refrain from giving people advice in the future.
Try to give excuses to release more people from the prison again?
Why do they face higher incarceration rates?
Because they love jailhouse dik.
Good question! I suspect some of those numbers may be fakers, like clinger on mash, working it to get extra entitlements.
Is prison safe for anyone though?? Just don't go there.
🤣😢🤣😢

Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time.
Doing time shouldn't include being assaulted
@@Bloody-Butterfly then don’t do the crime it’s simple
@@charlesxavier5681 People are going to commit crimes. You don't get to excuse your actions just because the person you assaulted was a criminal. I got beat bad by the correctional officers when I was in prison. I had to pay for my crime, how come they get off scott free?
@@Bloody-Butterfly just consider it an extra incentive not to commit crimes.
@@charlesxavier5681 assault IS a crime.
Physical abuse? In a men's prison? I'm shocked!
Prison is dangerous for everyone one not just them. So try not to go there.
...and if you're wrongfully convicted of a crime you had nothing to do with, didn't know happened, and couldn't have even possibly committed, it's your fault if you get attacked by prisoners because you didn't try hard enough to not go to prison? Sounds pretty dumb.
@@TroyaJamilyn it really not that hard to stay out of prison. And are justice system is so weak that the real criminals are not convicted or being released early because of some fake flu. Next time you respond back it before you get trigger and mumble stuff.
@@patriotasianguy7983 First, liking your own posts immediately after you post them is pathetic, asinine, and has the opposite effect you think it does.
" it really not that hard to stay out of prison."
Tell that to the people who are sitting in prison for crimes they didn't commit. I'd say tell it to the people who have been executed for crimes they didn't commit, but it's already too late for them.
"...real criminals are not convicted or being released early because of some fake flu."
A "fake flu" that has left 3 million people dead in one year alone, with millions more in Intensive Care Units, and almost killed the former President of the United States. Which is worse, by the way... innocent people being imprisoned, or a tiny fraction of the US prison population being let out to prevent the spread of a disease that can kill or permanently damage people who have temporary prison sentences?
"Next time you respond back it before you get trigger and mumble stuff."
You think I'm triggered? It takes a lot more than you'll ever be capable of to trigger me, dude. You're a speck.
@@TroyaJamilyn I gave him that like, so....
@@milesmayhem5440 Within seconds of it posting? Amazing. Why it's almost as if it were coordinated by one individual.
Just dont go to prison then

I don’t hear trans men complaining about being in women prison
They dominate the women, that’s why
@@earlem9771 you’re quick.
@@earlem9771 you do realise transmen are women that identify as men and not the other way around. So you just said some women dominate other women. It's not the dumbass insult you think it is.
Are they committing the crimes of theft and assault and others things?
A lesson to all kids
Don’t break the law
And you can wear make up, cloths whatever you want !
U dumb. The lesson here is if ya white you can get a news special. No black trans people?
@@DrDonnyTheBookofYou if that’s all you got from this, then “U dumb “, you dunce.
@@DrDonnyTheBookofYou The lack of black transgender people in the video is not automatically special treatment for white people. Give that crap a rest.
@@TroyaJamilyn I actually agree with that comment of yours this time. Even a broken clock is right twice a day!😉
@@milesmayhem5440 Whether you agree with what I've said in the comments here today a) has nothing to do with me, b) won't change the veracity of it, and c) matters to no one but yourself.
My name is Michelle-Lael Norsworthy...35 years inside, on both sides, literally and figuratively...
Why were these people in prison? for 25 years no less! I'm sorry but if you've been hurting people murdering people assaulting people I don't care if you have lipstick or girl dress up clothes to entertain you while you're in there or not. These dress wearing men's happiness should not come before the safety of women inmates. these guys have no business being housed in a women's prison. Prison is dangerous for every inmate not just drag queens.

Exactly!
Prison don't care about what you identify as. The judge damn show dont care.
Wow, I'm reading alot of ignorant comments. And there was No black trans people they could interview for this??
You can add your comment to the other ignorant comments. If the color of the trans person is all you can focus on, then you’re part of the problem. Your ignorance shines bright.
How you going have them in women jails ..like stop it…just make trans prison, and please groups STOP throwing black people in y’all arguments !
the same people that dont like marginalized groups also dont like black people, funny how that works?
It’s very simple. Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time. I have no sympathy.

Just do you jail time. Worry about makeup later
Lets go 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
your life is sad
