Group chains themselves to Corrections office in transgender rights protest
Protesters who allegedly chained themselves to the Hamilton Department of Corrections office over treatment of a transgender prisoner have been arrested.
They forced police to evacuate the staff from the Rostrevor St building.
The group will be charged with trespass, Senior Sergeant Dean Anderson of Waikato police said.
…the madness of our prison system is that we put Transgender prisoners into prisons they don’t identify with, so you get transgendered men who identify as women put inside a male prison.
We can all imagine can we not the danger that puts on the transgender prisoner?
In this case, the prison has decided that the best way to deal with having a transgender prisoner is to simply keep them in solitary confinement!
Solitary confinement is a punishment that ultimately makes people insane.
So, we have a prison system that puts transgender prisoners at risk and then punishes them with solitary confinement, how charming.
Our prison system has proven beyond any reasonable doubt that all they are good for is producing human beings more damaged than when they went in, we desperately need prison reform in this country.
Any prison system that does not protect the vulnerable such as LGBT people is no better than the criminals we lock up.
If we, as a society, can’t protect transgendered or transitioning prisoners, then in what way will that assist their rehabilitation? Answer; it won’t.
It shows the absolute madness of our system when citizens who point out an injustice are arrested – whilst a government department is permitted to carry on it’s mistreatment of people under it’s care.
Hopefully the judge will throw out the case and instead hold the Corrections Dept to account.
Meanwhile, “Seven Sharp” and the print media focus on BS “cat-up-tree” stories.
Yes agree with you Frank we passed the bill for our gay people to be able to get married and have the same rights but we are still very backward in other areas like prison reforms.
The solution is to let them choose between male or female prison. It would soon help them out of their gender confusion, which is largely encouraged & spread by today’s unhealthy toxic self obsessed pop culture.
What do you suggest would be the solution if a male sex offender “decided” that they no longer identified as Male but Female?
