Oh, I most certainly do.
“Women and Men should NOT be incarcerated in the same place.”

My beloved husband, upon hearing of this debacle was incredulous.
“WHO WAS THAT STUPID TO PUT MEN AND WOMEN IN THE SAME PRISON???”
I gently reminded him that not only is that now common, in California they put them in the same CELLs.
Sigh.
