Sen. Tom Cotton seeks to ban light sentences for trans criminals, kick men out of women’s prisons

[Michie]

A U.S. senator has introduced legislation banning judges from considering an inmate’s self-declared gender identity when determining prison sentences and prohibiting trans-identified men from being housed in women’s prisons amid outrage over a light sentence given to a man who now claims to identify as female, after he attempted to assassinate U.S. Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., introduced the Preventing Violence Against Female Inmates Act on Wednesday. The legislation would prohibit the Bureau of Prisons from putting female inmates in danger by housing trans-identified male inmates in women's correctional facilities and would withhold federal funds from states that fail to comply.

“Prisoners should be placed based on their biological sex, not on what they choose to ‘identify’ as,” Cotton said in a statement published Wednesday. “Documented cases prove that men — including men who ‘identify’ as women — in women’s prisons put female inmates at increased risk of sexual assault. My bill decreases the risk for women by ensuring men and women are separated in federal prison.”

Only 22 trans women are in women's prisons. It is very, very rare. Additionally, there are only a few prisons who even accept trans women and it is determined case by case and takes into account their safety. Additionally, it is likely the case that most of these people have undergone vaginoplasty so throwing them into a men's prison would be cruel and unusual punishment.
