Dear CC - I'm glad you could relate to my poem Reality Check. I really appreciate your assurances that I'm not the only one repulsed by this insane nightmare of being a woman trapped in a men's prison. Perhaps, someday this absurd situation will change and I will be transfered to a women's facility. Thanks advocacy efforts of Just Detention International have led to implementation of new national standards under the Prison Rape Elimination Act of 2003 (PREA), federal regulation require that prison officials evaluate me to determine gender appropriate housing. Yet, they have yet to comply with this law, and continue to ignore the obvious threat to my personal safety as a trans-woman in a men's facility. Thank you, my sister, for your sympathy and support. We need to raise a rucus about this issue! (heart)
