Cyryna Pasion, a transgender girl, landed in a detention center in Hawaii as a young teenager after family tensions over her sexual identity caused her to run away from home. She was first held with girls, then transferred to the boys' unit. There her life was a nightmare. "I was threatened with violence and rape, touched sexually on various parts of my body, and experienced constant sexual harassment," she said.

This is nothing new. Prison rape is more rampant than reported. Sadly many of the participants are prison workers. In regards to LGBT youth tehy're more vulnerable.
