minus-squareandros_rex@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·3 hours ago A 2018 report from the Indiana Maurer University School of Law, along with a subsequent report in the UCLA Journal of Gender and Law, found that, based on accounts of former inmates, it was common for trans women placed in men’s prisons to be assigned to cells with aggressive cisgender male cellmates to maintain social control and to, as one inmate described it, “keep the violence rate down”. Trans women used in this manner are often raped daily. This process is known as “V-coding”, and has been described as so common that it is effectively “a central part of a trans woman’s sentence”.
