TRANSGENDER INMATE IMPREGNATES TWO FEMALES AT AN ALL-WOMEN’S PRISON

Transgender Inmate Impregnates Two Inmates At An All-Women’s Prison.

A transgender inmate is said to have to impregnated two inmates at an all-women’s prison in New Jersey. The two women who are confined at the Edna Mahan Correctional Facility all-women’s prison in New Jersey are pregnant after reportedly having sex with a transgender inmate.

Dan Sperrazza, a spokesman for the New Jersey Department of Corrections, confirmed the development saying that the women became pregnant after “consensual sexual relationships with another incarcerated person.”

The prison facility started housing transgender inmates in 2019 following a lawsuit filed by the ACLU and a transgender woman who complained of suffering from abuse in a men’s prison. The prison now houses 27 transgender inmates, who are biologically men identifying as women.

Speaking on how the inclusion of transgender inmates at the all-women prison came about, Jeanne LoCicero, the ACLU’s legal director revealed that allowing biological men who identify as women to be housed along with biological women is “in line with New Jersey’s strong anti-discrimination laws that prevent discrimination and harassment on the basis of gender identity.”

New Jersey Superior Officers Association President Edward Sullivan revealed that they tried to oppose the policy change but it was to no avail
