A small and fragile transgender woman sits behind bars in solitary in a men's section of an Idaho county jail for crimes sparked by years of mental and emotional torture brought on my a malicious parent, cruel state actions, and a savage legal system that refuses to recognize the most personal part of an individual's identity, gender.

Meet Catherine Carlson, a 56-year-old, on her way to prison after years of what she describes as being terrorized by her family, the State of Idaho and the police.

Read her story and listen to Catherine's emotional courtroom testimony and exclusive jailhouse interviews of why she says she finally came to the end of her rope and snapped.
