Quite why the thread got bumped after 2 years quiet ...

However, the subject has been studied by a professor from a California university. Because there are a couple of legal cases where an ex-prisoner is suing re crueltly in prison.
In brief, the study found (as expressed by the TS inmates)
1) It's genitals that count. Male genitals = male jail. One story tells of a TS locked up in jail for 7 days, until they looked at the genitals, then it was off to a male prison.
2) Violence against TS (people who present as female in a male prison) is much, much higher than male on male violence.
3) Despite this, most TS would prefer to be in a male prison, where they have access to males.
The study almost certainly included Sylvia Boots (inside for 2nd degree murder) but since about 5% of people id'd as TS did not take part in the study, I can't be certain.

Here's a quiz question. Can you guess how many people (with male genitals) are living 24x7 AS FEMALE in MALE prisons in the state of California? That's how many TS in male jails in California? Frankly, I was gosmacked.

If you have to go to prison , you better be in a federal prison. They are not that bad. Fuck those state prisons.

Ruby once said she was quitting the business in May and getting married.

but her prison story sounds like a gay man's fairytale

She's just recording what's happening. She got the best of the situation. That's something all of us do.

I just received a hand written letter from Sylvia (Amara Vadillo)today 6/1/12. She said that she does not get a lot of mail from people who used to be close to her now that she is in prison, but that she does appreciate it when people contact her.

All I did was find the information on the net and sent her a letter. I did not expect to get a reply, but I did.
