  • More than one-third of transgender inmates in US jails and prisons report sexual assault. When the San Francisco sheriff announced a plan to implement changes for transgender people in the county jail, film-maker Nick Leader went out to meet the inmates who would benefit. What he found was a strong community of people, struggling with their place in society both on the street and in the justice system, with only each other to lean on.

      Chichi Chichi Oppai, it's like a hotel. They have a own bathroom with shower, toilet and sink. In a Norwegian prison cell it's two small rooms for one prisoner. It's one bathroom and one room for living room and bedroom. Prisoners doesn't share bathrooms.

    • @SebbyNilsen
      @SebbyNilsen Před 7 lety +46

      The prison and the hotel have one thing in common. That's what I mention where there's two rooms per cells; a bed room and a bathroom. But the prisoners can't decide when they wants to go outside and nor have they access to their phone, internet or the freedom to decide over themselves. Being locked into a room is very boring and that's the punishment. The room doesn't need to be ugly in order to make people bored. In Norway we also focuses on rehabilitation. Some criminals would be released and live in the society again.

      Nobody said “all trans people are helpless victims”. Yes they made choices. But think about why they made their choices. It is no surprise that somebody would turn to prostitution if they grow up in poverty, perhaps with a poor education, where they are rejected from their family homes for being trans, when they are made to feel worthless for being trans, etc. You seem to lack some empathy by saying “it’s their choice” because you don’t think about what a lack of self worth, mental health issues, poverty and abuse can do to people. They have to earn thousands and thousands of dollars to have surgery and hormones so they feel comfortable in their skin and stop getting abuse from people who think they look like “freaks” and they know prostitution makes quick money. While drugs ease the emotional pain.

Jails throw out their inmates with only the clothes on their back and $50, jobs make you state why you were in prison, and apartments will often not lease to past offenders. how are you supposed to reintegrate into society when it does not accept you

    Whats really bad is when a violent inmate who can't get along with other prisoners in general population or they have difficulty adjusting to prison rules or to authority and are placed into segregation for a month or so and end up staying under these condition for as long as three to five years, away from other people and then when their sentence is up they are then released back into society with zero trade skills or any way to be gainfully employed and this causes many to break the law just to survive and get caught and then its back to prison again on a new sentence. This is what is called "the revolving door"! The state governor should require all short timers to get a useful skilled trade while confined so that when they are released from prison, they can find a job and support themselves in a lawful manner. This would enable all states to save millions of tax dollars in the long run and greatly reduce the over crowding often found in every state and federal prison system. But this plan has been tried before to no avail usually run by an arm chair college educated individual who doesn't have a clue on how to make such a program work and be successful.

    1) These are NOT WOMEN. They can be classified as females, but not women...they don't qualify.
    2) Regardless of their excuses, their lifestyle is a choice they've made for themselves. Especially the drug use/abuse.
    3) They are humans who suffer more confusion than the average and have created a makeshift reality to convince themselves that they have a place in society.
    This is a very sad and deplorable existence. No matter what sexual preference you have or what gender you choose to identify with, your well being should be a priority and not a perceived circumstantial option. Now more than ever, the LGBTQ community has the opportunity to take full advantage of the laws which were put in place for their protection, but it is up to them to utilize the instruments they are given. It's hard to muster sympathy for an individuals(s) that would rather cop out than to make the journey to sobriety for self sufficiency. They CAN make better choices, but the familiar is so much more appealing.
