1st sex reassignment inmate says women's prison is 'torture'

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — The first U.S. inmate to have taxpayer-funded sex reassignment surgery says she's been mistreated since being transferred to a California women's prison, where she now has a beard and mustache because officials have denied her a razor.

In a hand-written federal court filing, convicted killer Shiloh Heavenly Quine called her new housing at the Central California Women's Facility in Chowchilla a "torture unit." She said she's unnecessarily isolated from other inmates and denied basic items. (snip)

Quine, 57, had the surgery she had long sought in January and was moved from a men's prison last month. She said she is being treated as if she's a newly arrived inmate and denied rehabilitation programs and privileges even though she's been serving a life sentence since 1981.

Quine is housed alone in a cell but said she still has no privacy to perform required intimate post-operative procedures and is enduring "a restrictive isolation" that is pushing her toward anxiety, depression and sadness.

Her beard and mustache are having a "huge impact on day to day life" and are making the transition to life as a woman more difficult, she wrote in a filing received Friday at the court.

Quine was known as Rodney James Quine when she and an accomplice kidnapped and fatally shot 33-year-old Shahid Ali Baig, a father of three, in downtown Los Angeles in 1980, stealing $80 and his car during a drug-and-alcohol fueled rampage.

Baig's daughter, Farida, tried unsuccessfully in court to block Quine's surgery. She objected to inmates getting taxpayer-funded surgery that is not readily available to non-criminals.

"My dad begged for his life," she said in January. "It just made me dizzy and sick. I'm helping pay for his surgery; I live in California. It's kind of like a slap in the face."

IT only belongs one place - Off the planet.

But California cares more about this murderer than it does the victim and the victim's family.

Why should this THING have ANY rights or get to have any FREE special treatment? (rhetorical question)

The source of your misery is that you’re running away from what you are. A man.

Sounds like the mutilation procedure wasn’t entirely successful.

Why are they calling this maggot “she”?? HE, it’s a HE, HE killed a father of 3, so WHY is this maggot still ALIVE?? Liberals can bite me, I am sooooo sick to death of them and their BS. They get away with this crap because NOBODY confronts them about it. That’s why they are going so nuts about Trump, he’s the only guy in decades to push back against these sc*mbags.

I doubt that men’s prison would be that pleasant a place for he/she either.

Considering what happens to men in prison, he should shut up about the complaints.

How is this news? Didn’t multiple rapist/murderer Richard Speck get breast implants (and drugs and hundreds of dollars) while in prison in Illinois?

Imagine if they’d put a man who raped and murdered numerous nurses all in one night into a womyn’s prison?

If “it” can pee pee in a Target women’s room and change wardrobe in a YWCA girl’s locker room, why can’t it bed down in a woman’s jail cell?

Can you imagine the horror of being thrown into a den of ex wives?

The continuous bitching would be unbearable

Boo hoo! This is one so-called torture that should be approved. If she wants a lesson in torture, send her to Iran to visit all the tortured Christians in jail.
