Inmates Pregnant After Biological Males Admitted to Women’s Prison
It’s been less than a year since New Jersey implemented a new policy that would allow biological male prisoners to be housed alongside women in women’s prison facilities, and now two women incarcerated at the Edna Mahan Correctional Facility are pregnant.
27 biological males are housed in Edna Mahan, in Clinton, New Jersey, and there are over 800 women there as well. Edna Mahan is the only women’s prison facility in the Garden State.
An investigation has been launched into the origins of the pregnancies, though reports from the prison say that the women voluntarily engaged in sex with a biological male inmate who claims to be female, despite having the obvious ability to impregnate women, something only men can do. It’s not clear if the two women had sex with the same bepenised inmate, or different ones.
The policy change came after the ACLU brought a suit against the state, demanding that New Jersey allow biological male inmates to self-ID as women in order to gain access to women’s prisons.
“While DOC cannot comment on any specific disciplinary or housing decisions that may be considered in light of these events,” corrections department external affairs director Dan Sperrazza told local news, “the Department always reserves all options to ensure the health and safety of the individuals in its custody.”
Those biological males who seek transfer to the women’s prison need only say that they are women, no medical transition is required for these prisoners who were once housed in male facilities to be moved over to the women’s estate.
The policy of allowing biological males to self-ID as women and be placed in women’s prisons came about after a lawsuit was brought in August 2020 by a biological male who claimed to have been harassed while in men’s prisons.
“I am a woman and feel unsafe in a men’s prison,” the inmate said in the suit, filed by the ACLU.
“When I was forced to live in men’s prisons, I was terrified I wouldn’t make it out alive. Those memories still haunt me,” the inmate, under the pseudonym Sonia Doe said in a statement at the time. “Though I still have nightmares about that time, it’s a relief to know that as a result of my experience the NJDOC has adopted substantial policy changes so no person should be subjected to the horrors I survived.”
The ACLU praised the judicial decision allowing biological males to be housed in women’s prisons alongside women. ACLU attorney Tess Border said that the decision was “a total reversal of the prior problematic and unlawful practice” of requiring males to be housed with males even if they say they are women.
“This is really historic,” Border said at the time. “It’s something New Jersey should be proud of.”
Abuse has been rampant at the facility, with a lawsuit against the prison finding that there had been beatings of the women prisoners, as well as rapes and attacks, and that the staff had not protected the women from this abuse. There are 10 guards from Edna Mahan who are facing criminal charges after allegedly assaulting and beating inmates in 2020. One woman was punched 28 times.
As part of the changes wrought through the legal battle to allow biological male prisoners to self-ID into women’s prisons, prison staff will be made to use an inmate’s preferred pronouns, provide cross-sex clothing and underclothes to inmates who identify as the opposite sex, and also provide cross-sex hormones and surgical gender transition when “medically appropriate.”
In addition, The Daily Mail reports, “Other protections include single-cell housing while final housing determinations are being made; being able to shower separately from other inmates; the right to have input into housing decisions and to appeal those decisions, and a prohibition of physical examinations to determine an inmate’s genital status.”
Robyn Gigl was also representing the anonymous biologically male inmate who sought, and won a transfer to a women’s prison. Gigl said that medical gender transition absolutely should be provided by the state of New Jersey to inmates who want it.
Gigl equated surgical castration, cross-sex hormone prescriptions, and breast augmentation for biological males who want female-looking breasts to cancer treatment, saying that it is a fundamental human right.
“We wouldn’t deny someone who is incarcerated treatment for a heart condition or cancer — that would be cruel and unusual punishment,” Gigl said. “To the extent that trans people deserve to be treated with respect, to deny them that care would be cruel and unusual.”
In Washington, where this inmate policy was also implemented, the ACLU blocked the accumulation and release of data as to how many biological males were housed in women’s prisons. A female inmate in that state was assaulted by a biological male who had gained admittance to the prison by saying he was a woman. Rapes were also reported.
Prison employees also receive training on how to address and facilitate the needs of prisoners who identify as the opposite sex. The inmate who brought the lawsuit won a settlement of $125,000, as well as legal fees.
New Jersey’s labor union for corrections officers filed a suit to halt the change in policy of housing same-sex inmates together. They had concerns about how strip searches would be performed, and said the rules on how to handle these and others matters was not clear.
Union president William Sullivan said in June 2021 after the settlement that “Some of the officers have religious and personal issues with that, so that’s the only issue.”
The Daily Mail reports that the is a chance that the pregnancies among the two women, a direct result of housing functional males with women, may end in abortion.
Sullivan now claims that the union opposed the policy change, despite his words saying that officers’ personal preferences “were the only issue.”
“We opposed this policy change believing it would be detrimental to the general population of female inmates being housed at Edna Mahan and also bring added stress to our correctional police officers assigned to this institution,” Sullivan said after the pregnancies were revealed.
Washington, California, Illinois, and other states also have this policy. New York is seeking to implement it. In California, after the policy was announced, the Department of Corrections started distributing condoms in women’s prisons, though sex is prohibited.
How stupid can Americans be to allow this type of nonsense to have started and actually continue. A man is a man and woman is a woman. Quit trying to make them the same. Let’s consider going back to common sense please.
The authorities were obviously too deaf, dumb, blind, ignorant and stupid to understand biology!! If men want to be in women’s prison then they must be neutered!!
By manual castration (no anesthetic).
paternity test and mandatory castration of the daddy if the acceptance policy you advocate is not approved. It would be amusing to see how many trannies (mentally ill men) suddenly get cured and transfer to male prisons.
What did those idiot liberals think was going to happen???? Those two guys are hoping they got a life sentence ‘cuz they have a ready made harem, compliments of Jersey’s liberal blockheads.
WTF men want to IDENTIFY with women to stop being someone’s bitch? Move to women’s prisons should be mandatory castrations not condoms, as sex is supposed to be prohibited…..
This is the most disgusting article I have read in some time. What is this world coming to!!?
Men who identify as women should not be allowed to be housed at a totally female institution if there has been no castrations there will be eventuall problems here and the local government needs to give the Department of Corrections the proper laws to combat this situation also in addition to no males that identify as females housed there there should be mo male staff in a all female prison
Why was my comment pulled???????
Those women who got the women pregnant should be hung by their female nuts.
They should be required to have a vagina before they are entered into womens prison, and since they are in prison, if they wanted to change their sex shouldn’t they have thought about that BEFORE they did the crime that landed them in PRISON to begin with?? Our government is so f#*ed up
2-Broads get knocked up after the state lets he-shes into the woman’s hoosgow. – Imagine that. Naaaa, It couldn’t be the confused sissies doing it. I’ll bet it was the guards that did it. No way a guy doing life without parole would ever fake being a he/she,,,,Felons are noted for honesty aren’t they?
This has to END!!
JUST SAYING YOU ARE A WOMAN ISNT ENOUGH. MEN SEEKING TO BE HOUSED WITH WONEN INMATES is RIDICULOUS.
IF THEY DO,.. THEN THEY SHOULD AGREE TO A SEX CHANGE,.. PERIOD.
WOMEN GETING PREGNANT IN A WOMENS’ PRISON SHOULD BE ENOUGH SAID TO NOT ALLOW THIS TO CONTINUE. I think we know the Real Reason,… UNLMITED SEXUAL INTERCOUSRE FOR,… “ANY GOD MADE MAN” PLACED IN A WOMENS’ CORRECTIONAL CENTER.
Manual castration cures all urges to have sex. An old Readers Digest article about sex offenders being castrated in Germany showed they also have very low recidivism rates for any crime.
What did they think would happen when they decided to allow foxes in the henhouse, or in this case penises in a women’s prison? If they aren’t going to require those male anatomical parts to be removed before admission, they should at least require vasectomies. Better yet, place biological males in the men’s prison. Duh.
OK..I’ll try once more…
What did those liberal idiots think was going to happen??? Putting men in a womens prison is like locking the fox in the hen house. I bet all those guys hope for life sentences…
In other news, the ACLU is suing dog pounds all over the country for forcing all dogs — even those who self-identify as cats — to be housed in the same facility.
Rachel Dolezal could not be reached for comment.
It’s time to start committing these gender confused freaks to mental institutions. If you have the “equipment” you were born with, but think you’re really supposed to have the other gender’s “equipment”, you are mentally ill, and need to be treated as such. After all, if a person “identifies” as a pink fluffy unicorn, that doesn’t make it true!
