Those poor trans girls...they didn't deserve this...it's terrifying, how do people not know about this?? This shit deserves riots.

The US prison system is a horrific establishment that thrives on the exploitation, abuse, and dehumanization of its inmates, with little to no oversight. The people running the prisons can do pretty much whatever they want, as long as they aren’t straight up murdering inmates on a regular basis or going after someone who’s influential on the outside.

They get away with it because the average American just blows it off as “they’re there to be punished, so of course it’s going to be bad”. As soon as you’re convicted of a crime, these people stop thinking of you as a human and start thinking of you as a convict, and the authorities start thinking of you as a slave.

The exact same way slavery was never abolished in the USA. People stopped caring and eventually people were just completely ignorant to the whole thing.

There's a reason why it's called "woke" cuz people are waking up from wonderland to see the awful truths of the world.

Nobody cares at all about people in prison. We think we're better than them, so whatever they get must be justice. Never gonna hear a prison rape joke again without wanting to punch somebody.

Because these are prisoners and most people don't seem to believe they are human. It's the only thing that explains why there isn't a massive movement for prisoner rights, because this isn't exclusive to trans women. The sheer amount of rape that happens in prisons is almost impossible to quantify, with the system turning a blind eye towards the sexual abuse perpetrated by guards.

Beyond that prison and jails regularly fail to meet the barest minimums for health and hygiene which lead to massive amounts of deaths from Covid and other illnesses. For example it's common to deny cis women access to feminine hygiene products forcing them to free bleed in their only clothing.

To make matters even worse how guards control inmates cause deep psychological damage from solitary confinement, which is literally torture, to the effects of having every aspect of your life strictly regimented causing significant challenges reintegrating. This combined with the general practice of legalized discrimination against ex-cons results in a very high level of recidivism.

Prisons do not help people. They don't help the prisoners, as they cause deep psychological scars while failing to resolve the root issue of crime, poverty and precarity. They don't help victims because they only breed more poverty and precarity as more families lose their ability to sustain themselves, which only results in more crime. Even then in this framing of the issue undersells the reality of the system, because in the US the overwhelming majority of people in prison are there because of a plea deal, people who chose to accept a lesser sentence where most of them are doing so to avoid staying in jail. Jail itself being a place where the state imprisons people who are not convicted of a crime or had plead guilty awaiting trail, the only way out is bail and that system is designed to trap the poor into an unwinnable situation. To make matters even worse DAs usually seek to punish people who don't take plea offers with lengthier prison sentences.

It still gets even worse from here, if you decide to go to trial you will likely get a public defender who has an impossibly high workload, who will somehow have to beat a public official who ran on their conviction rate. That person will then likely rely on witness testimonials from police, who frequently lie on the stand as they see no consequences for doing so, and people that the police literally could be paying to indict you. All this is extremely expensive requiring police, lawyers, judges, prison guards and more to be employed, whilst being much less effective than social spending. As is the system is built to transform poor people, especially Black, Indigenous and Hispanic people into life long criminals.

Looking at the criminal justice system critically makes it excessively clear that the stated purpose for the system is a lie, because no one involved can honestly claim it's about justice or restitution. The true purpose of the justice system is as a threat against every single working class person that should you violate capital's rules you will be made to suffer.

TL;DR The criminal justice system is a misnomer, because no one with knowledge of the realities of the system is under the illusion it's justice.

these people get away with it because its a feature of US and western imperialism, not a bug.

strip away the rights and humanity of criminals and prisoners, then call anyone who dares oppose or question the status quo a criminal and then you've got yourself prime breeding grounds for full-blown fascism. just arrest your political opponents. it worked for the Nazis in the 20s, worked for the US in the 60s, it's gotta work a third time, right?

Exactly my reaction, unfortunately no matter what, people will continue to not know about it as conservatives and the police sweep it under the rug.

The world is fucked.

Google how do I make C4

No, a lot of shows and movies do mention it but don't really show how bad it actually is and sometimes even use it as a joke for the shows

Yeah, I was like "the USA seems more and more like a third world hellhole" but then... In France too...

France prison system is really good at being awful.

Me too...

Its cause the police, the state, and society hate us and wanna see us suffer.

The police don't care if it's okay. They care that they have the power to do it and no one will stop them. They are evil.

I'm so sorry to hear that, long live anarchy. 🏴

The date on a calendar is worthless to change, we as people need to change the future.

Spread the word, join the cause for spreading awareness, cause clearly nobody knows about this.

That's still horrible. I'm so sorry you went through that

I'd argue you can sue for that

This happens globally.

Unfortunately there's not much we can do.

Best you can do is spread awareness since clearly not enough people know about it.

Oh but we're not human so it's fine if it happens to us

People aren't protesting cause they either don't care or don't know about it, best is to spread awareness about it.

I wouldn't be surprised if it does since this happens globally but has only been documented in a few nations such as the US (and keep in mind that the reports are very recent, before 2018 even less people knew about it), it's just that the corrupt police sweeps it under the rug as if it's nothing.

The world is not safe for trans people.

Sorry but I believe this has happened in England as well as stated in the comment, how about a federation of anarchist communes instead? :3

*First Nations

No, fuck the English. Give it back to the First Nations people

Me too, humans suck

Basically putting trans women in men’s prisons and watching them get raped

Be the change you want to see in this world, spread awareness.

Maybe I'll write to Stonewall or something, see if they feel like pushing a case on it.

Either way, the only way this ends is with the entirety of the person service either involved, directly or indirect, or choosing to ignore it, being put on trial for crimes against humanity with an appropriate punishment for those found guilty.

Unitary executive theory does not work. He tried those approaches before, and his own judges repeatedly shot if down.

A bill to pack the supreme Court cannot mathematically pass without individuals who rejected the same in 2021 or later rejecting it, so they can't just find 8 more Clarence thomases.

Executive orders are not the law. And knowing that they are likely to be abused, its not hard to spin up a body yo review them for obvious illegality between election and inauguration. It is already the case that Executive orders that an individual knows to be illegal must be ignored.

Also, some other issues: He can't do much while in state jail, even if he is the president, his ability to govern will be almost nil. The only reason he was not convicted after his second impeachment was that he was not the president. Charges could be bought again if he is elected (and yeah, I'm not thrilled with his vice getting in, but would likely make litterally anything impossible in office).

Yes, most of what they want is after the president is unchecked, but getting to that point would need amendments passed. It skips over how the this happens with the phrase "unilaterally if needed"
