"WXIA -- For the first time, Ashley Diamond, a transgender woman, is speaking out about her mistreatment in the Georgia prison system.

Diamond, 36, was serving time for burglary, theft by receiving, and escaping police custody in Floyd County. During that time, she said she was raped, ridiculed and tormented by inmates and staff at five different Georgia prisons, including Baldwin State Prison and Georgia State Prison.

11Alive's Jeremy Campbell was the first to conduct an on-camera interview with Diamond following her release from prison."

I wonder if the officials who knew about this and allowed it to happen are having any remorse.
