Transgender inmate seeks rare transfer to female prison

CHICAGO (AP) — A 26-year-old transgender woman serving a 10-year sentence in Illinois for burglary is seeking a rarely granted transfer to a female prison where she says she’ll be less vulnerable to the kinds of sexual assault, taunting and beatings she’s been subjected to in male prisons.

Deon “Strawberry” Hampton describes in a lawsuit filed last year asking for the transfer how guards and fellow inmates would regularly single her out for brutal treatment at the high-security prison in southern Illinois, Menard Correctional Center, and earlier at Pinckneyville Correctional Center.

A U.S. magistrate judge began a first-of-its-kind evidentiary hearing in Hampton’s case Friday in Benton, southeast of St. Louis, to help the court decide whether to order the transfer. The hearing, which will last several days, is focused on Hampton’s gender identity and on whether she could pose a risk to female inmates if moved.

Actually, I’d like one of those transfers, too. I mean, if the alternative is any time in a male prison, I’ll identify as female every day...

If she has a penis, she isn’t a she. If she’s had it wacked off, she is just a he with no junk.

she’s been subjected to in male prisons.

Looks like a repeat offender. I pray that these prisoners hear the word of God this year. Their only real hope is Jesus.

He might regret this if it comes to pass. There are some pretty tough strong and angry women in women’s prisons who might relish neutering this “girl”

Your mental illness does not change your Chromosomes, Your sex is what your Chromosomes dictate. You dont change that by carving on your organs. This illness is treatable and was treated for 80 years with electrical shock.

All the more reason to leave "it" there. There are reasons to avoid prison, this would be but one reason why. It's not a vacation or Gladiator School

This topic was covered in an episode of “Law & Order” several years back. The end of the episode showed the Transgender was severely beaten and raped by the other inmates.

F-ing Liberal Media! Deon is a man, now and for the rest of HIS life. He deserves to be as safe in prison as any other inmate, but that does not mean this man should be housed in a women's prison.
