The UK government / penal system is being viciously, unnecessarily, vindictively cruel.
What would it cost them to supply a mask to a weakened prisoner?!
And REMEMBER: these prisoners have NOT been convicted of any crime: OVER A YEAR in prison without trial!
All to kowtow to psychopathic Israel.

I suppose I don't find that narrative so completely impossible, people are nuts. But there are more details that could help to settle it: there's the mail handling in the prison, there should be a record of the prisoner posting a letter and a scan of the letter. And, is it the right postmark?

It’s my attempt to explore the movement to reform prisons (c.1770s-1820s) from below. I look at letters, petitions and oral complaints of prisoners to access their views towards prison reform. And I consider how prisoner complaints/protests/requests shaped prison policy and everyday prison life.

Trouble is that pretty much every US prisoner is given those things - we're *incredibly* bad at preventing prison suicides (and sexual violence), mainly because (in both cases) American society is somewhere between "who cares" and "awesome, that's exactly what those filthy subhumans deserve".

There are 227 trans women in prison, so at 62%, 140 have committed a sexual offence.
There are 48,000 trans women in the UK, so 140 people is 0.47%.
Joanne wants to punish an entire group based on the actions of 0.47% of people who probably didn't commit their crimes in unisex changing rooms.

![Legal Gender and Gender Identity
There were 295 prisoners living in, or presenting in, a gender different from their legal gender and who have had a local case board. Of these, 245 (83%) reported their legal gender as male, 50 (17%) reported their legal gender as female. When asked about the gender with which the prisoner identified from the following categories, 227 (77%) identified as transgender female[footnote 10], 49 (17%) as transgender male[footnote 11], 11 (4%) as non-binary[footnote 12] and 8 (3%) self-identified in a different way, or did not provide a response. There were 10 prisoners known to have a Gender Recognition Certificate as of 31st March 2024. These prisoners are not included in the transgender prisoner totals presented in this report. Based on this exercise, there were 3.4 transgender prisoners reported per 1,000 prisoners in custody on 31st March 2024, an increase from 3.2 per 1,000 on 31st March 2023. The transgender prison population increased by 10% compared with 4% for the prison population over the same period.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:6e62gdtc6plwfclhz6p5wgq3/bafkreibx6xm4zkhjq5cxdgtsxjj3lyo6gxkuyvazkq5uzbekn7obcqug2e@jpeg)
