Jena Faith’s experience in the Steuben County Jail was a living nightmare.
The military veteran spent four weeks in the jail awaiting trial last spring. She was initially housed in the jail’s women’s facility without incident, but things changed when officials suddenly transferred her to the men’s facility, despite the fact that she is a woman.
During the weeks that Jena spent as a woman in a men’s jail, she was routinely targeted with physical and verbal harassment from other incarcerated people and guards. On her first day in the men’s facility, a fellow incarcerated person started touching her body and blowing kisses at her, making her feel scared and uncomfortable. When Jena told him to stop, he said that he wanted to marry her, and he wrote her several letters claiming he was in love with her. Afraid, Jena showed the jail’s guards, but all they did was move her to another section of the men’s general population, where she was promptly targeted by another man.
She knew her new harasser to be violent, but even as he repeatedly hurled threatening transphobic slurs at her in the presence of guards, they did nothing beyond telling him to stop a single time. The guards also started calling her “mister” and “a man,” even though she explained to them that she was a transgender woman. Terrified, Jena spent the rest of her days in the men’s facility feeling sick and scared to leave her cell.
Jail officials also denied Jena her doctor-prescribed hormone therapy, even as they made sure to give her all of her other prescribed medications, which led to hot flashes, cold flashes, nausea, and stomach pain. Since she was released from jail, Jena continues to suffer through sleepless nights and night terrors because of what she went through.

He’s a man, not a woman.
So? It’s a guy. What woman would want HIM in with her?
I guess it is silly to wonder why exactly he was jailed in the first place.
There, fixed it.
He’s a man. Makeup, a wig, and a dress can’t change that. Neither can artificial hormones.
And...?
Just... no ... stop.. why is this self mutilation even legal?!
He should have accepted the marriage proposal. He isn’t going to get another on.
Looks like the dude could defend himself well enough with a solid left hook.
Tough! He's a voluntarily mutilated man pretending to be a woman. Our criminal justice system should not and does not pander to delusions. Neither should our society!
That’s a dude.
An ugly, deformed, nasty lookin’ dood.
Has he had the surgery? If not, he is just playing a woman. Even if he has had the surgery, he is still a man by biological standards (and most other standards, too).
I actually feel sorry for this guy. He looks seriously disturbed, but instead of getting him help the people around him will just enable his destructive behavior.
“despite the fact that she is a woman”
No it isn’t. It is a man. Every cell in its body attests to that.
Society has gone insane all over 0.01% of the population.
He/it should have requested protective custody. He/it expecting others to accept deviant choices as normal is ridiculous.
All actions have consequences, good or bad.
What kind of she is that?
I believe most of the “trans” people are just transvestites. It’s stupid to pretend that they have “changed their gender”.
This should (and does) all come down to chromosomes. You are what you are, and we can test you and find out what you are.
Drag is a mockery of femininity and a mockery of women. Where is the outrage?? #LetMyGenderGo
