"Prisons are violent places, and male prisons are especially violent places. You take that boiling cauldron and you put one woman in there — which is exactly what happened here — and it's like throwing a fresh piece of meat into a lion's cage."
— Greg Walston, the attorney for Alexis Giraldo, a male-to-female transgender person who alleges being repeatedly raped and beaten by her cellmate at Folsom State Prison, Associated Press, July 23. Giraldo is challenging a California policy that assigns transgender inmates to men's or women's prisons depending on whether they have undergone gender reassignment surgery.
