No man should ever be sent to a women’s prison again

It’s interesting, the way that laws and policy can change seemingly out of the blue.

In April last year, following a massive outcry from feminists and others concerned about trivial matters such as the safety and wellbeing of incarcerated women, the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) released a press statement about changes to the policy on transgender prisoners, which was presumably in response to public disquiet about the creeping invasion of extreme transgender ideology into state agencies.  

Prisons are full of women who have been sexually assaulted and raised in homes with domestic violence, sexual abuse and neglect. The current conviction rate for reported rapes is currently less than 1 per cent in England and Wales. Shockingly, it is more likely that the victim of a rape will end up in prison as a result of the trauma inflicted upon her than that the rapist will end up in prison as a result of the rape he committed.
