#Edna Mahan correctional Facility for Women

[vomitdodger]

Horrific article. And yes, he is of course now house with women inmates:

New Jersey’s only women’s prison is currently home to multiple violent male inmates with histories of targeting women and children. The state’s leniency in transferring the males in is likely the result of a 2021 lawsuit settlement between the American Civil Liberties Union and the New Jersey Department of Corrections which stipulated that transgender inmates must be housed on the basis of their self-declared “gender identity.”

Last year, Reduxx spoke to multiple female inmates at the facility who expressed anxiety and fear about the presence of the male inmates in their close quarters.

Miseka Diggs, an incarcerated woman at Edna Mahan, explained that the female inmates were “scared to death” of the men. Under the current policy, the men do not need to undergo any surgery, and Diggs asserts that most of the men are not on hormone replacement therapy. She stated that a majority of women incarcerated at Edna Mahan have past trauma, with many being victims of male violence, and the presence of men in the facility is causing them severe distress

New Jersey Rolls Back Protections for Trans Prisoners - The Appeal

New Jersey prison officials have quietly rolled back a policy that made it easier for transgender people to be housed in facilities that align with their gender identity, following a media firestorm over a trans woman who impregnated two other prisoners at the state’s only women’s prison.

Under an amended policy issued by the New Jersey Department of Corrections (NJDOC) in October and provided to The Appeal in December, incarcerated people are given a “rebuttable presumption” to be housed according to their gender identity—meaning prison officials can override their preference. The policy outlines specific factors the agency may use to justify placing trans prisoners in facilities that do not match their gender identity, which now include “reproductive considerations.”

The changes came months after an uproar sparked by news in April that two women at the Edna Mahan Correctional Facility for Women were impregnated following sexual relationships with Demi Minor, a 27-year-old trans woman who was also housed at the facility. NJDOC has maintained that the relationships were “consensual,” though the federal Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) defines all sexual contact between prisoners—including consensual acts—as misconduct.

Much of the coverage of the pregnancies was highly sensational, if not blatantly transphobic. The New York Post wrote in August that Minor was “either a martyr to the transgender cause — or a cold-blooded killer who got involved in a messy love triangle behind bars.” Minor is serving a 30-year prison sentence for killing her foster father, who she “wrongly blamed at the time for the sexual abuse she suffered while under his care,” according to Minor’s Justice For Demi blog.

Black Enterprise, an online news website, referred to Minor as a “Transgender Woman Inmate With Manparts.” The Daily Mail, an enthusiastic cog in the United Kingdom’s virulently transphobic media machine, used Minor’s case to make outlandish and unsupported claims that trans women were driving sexual assaults in U.S. prisons.

In a phone interview with The Appeal, Minor characterized her punishment as discriminatory and accused officials of retaliating against her for broader security failures at the prison.

please read this article, it is so cruel that these women are being forced to go through this. this is state-sanctioned torture

“We feel like we are part of some sick joke. This is a nightmare that we can’t wake up from,” she added. “The women here are traumatized over and over again and it seems as if no one cares about our needs. We feel like second-class citizens with no rights.”

“It is like you are living in an abusive situation. I have anxiety that I never knew about.”

“We can’t express our feelings in fear of being put in protective custody, [which] is like lock-up. If you use the wrong words you will be uprooted and removed from your living quarters. So many women walk around in fear.”

“We feel like we are part of some sick joke. This is a nightmare that we can’t wake up from.”

“The women here are traumatized over and over again and it seems as if no one cares about our needs. We feel like second-class citizens with no rights.”

“When [LaBranche] came in and got into the shower next to me I felt violated in every form possible! I couldn’t believe that I was showering with a person with genetic male parts.”

“The day [Cerf] hit EMCFW was very somber. No one knew what to think. The compound was locked down and we saw 15 officers in swat gear walking with this individual. The officers were on high alert as well, because this individual has a reputation in the men’s facility as a problem.”

“This is a behavior and [statement made] by most of the transgenders. ‘I am a man and I will knock you out.”

“I know of two transfers that went back to the male prison on their own. They identified as trans, came here for whatever reason, and then decided they wanted to go back to the men’s facility. They were sent back. That is exactly where the problem lies: they come and go as they please.”

“As I sit back and play everything over in my head the conversations that I’ve had with the Commissioner, administration, lawyers, and reporters, I came to the conclusion that this is all about politics at the end of the day. The women here are caught up in the game of politics and it is sad.”

“The women that were sentenced to the only female prison in the State of New Jersey didn’t get sentenced to be housed with people that prey upon them and manipulate them, and [serve as] triggers of the trauma that put them here.”

Last month, the New Jersey Department of Corrections confirmed that two female inmates had become pregnant in the women’s estate following sexual encounters with at least one of the trans-identifying male inmates housed there.

I'm just stateing as a black man, when anti #blm was a thing, people did exactly what you are doing

Ya know, making Twitters of dubiously sourced Twitter pages of all the black criminals!!!11 "this is what the news won't want us to hear!!"

But instead of black people, it's random trans people

🫤🤔

Re-read this

Read these and understand these.

Typically when a man rapes a woman and kills her, if he is caught and convicted he is sent to prison to keep him away from the general population because he is a danger.

Serial killers when caught (alive) are also kept away from the general public because they are a danger to them.

When child molesters are caught and convicted they are generally kept away from children because they are a danger to children. Or they are jailed because they are a danger to children.

Have I lost you? I hope not.

So when you have men that have been victimizing women raping girls/children and killing them the most reasonable thing to do when they are caught in convicted is to keep them away from the people they have victimized.

ACLU lawsuit made it so you can self ID and be transferred to the prison that matches your new gender identity because trans rights are human rights, however this should not extend to prisoners especially those that have a track record of victimizing women.

Listen, I'll link an article. I know you won't read it but there it is.

These transwomen have victimized women. They are predators and have taken advantage of self id laws to attempt to further victimize other women, only the women can't run away because they're housed in the same jail facility.

There is absolutely no need to put these transwomens right over the rights of women and to allow them to be victimized again.

My favorite Tim Scott moment was when someone on Twitter called him a "house N*****", and he simply replied, "Senate".

Sorry this took so long, I was finishing something else up and I also wanted to find the tweet.

It's incredible to me, the venn diagram or people that will tell you you're transphobic for not respecting the pronouns of Chris Chan, Jessica Yaniv, any number of people that have done multitudes of bad things.

Y'all remember the yelling and screaming when Demi Minor the transwoman who got two of her fellow inmates pregnant at Edna Mahan womens correctional facility where she was housed until that happened and she was moved to the facility for people with a penis?

Trans inmate who got two women pregnant is moved to men's prison

And the people that will drop a hard R, coon, oreo, uncle tom, ect. the instant someone does something they perceive as out of line

It's not a circle, since at least I don't think you should disrespect trans identified people's identity for that, there's 10,000 other things you can bag on them for not need to do the other, but the crossover has to be massive.

People need to get some consistency going on and remember there is a time and a place for that kind of thing.

That's a Call of Duty lounge while you're waiting to start, also acceptable when tebagging a fallen foe or when you are the foe being teabagged. (please for the love of god don't think I'm serious here)

This freak again?

A transgender pedophile currently serving a lengthy sentence at New Jersey’s only women’s prison has filed a lawsuit against the New Jersey Department of Corrections (NJDOC), claiming his Wiccan religion is being discriminated against.

Marina Volz, 34, filed the suit on April 28, claiming he is being denied religious accommodations in accordance with his Wiccan beliefs. Wicca is often classified as a new religious movement, having been established in England in the early 20th century, drawing upon a diverse set of Pagan beliefs.

In his lawsuit, Volz alleges that Joy Lynch, the head of religious services at Edna Mahan, has denied the Wiccans the use of a loosely fitting cloak used during “witch coven” gatherings. The NJDOC permits the practice of Wicca in the state’s prisons, and practitioners are reportedly allowed to access the item Volz is claiming he has been denied.

Other Wiccan items allowed by the NJDOC include the Book of Shadows, which contains instructions for magical rituals, a pentacle, incense, three electric or battery-operated candles, and a cup of grape juice as a substitute for wine.

Volz is currently serving a 25-year sentence for a number of horrific sexual crimes he committed against his own 7-year-old daughter.

On May 6 of 2022, Volz, born Matthew, was sentenced on charges of human trafficking, aggravated sexual assault, conspiracy and endangering the welfare of a child. His charges had stemmed from a 2019 investigation into his conduct after the New Jersey Department of Child Protection became aware he was creating pornography in a home where a child resided.

Volz, along with another trans-identified male named Ashley Romero, had operated a “transgender porn” business in their home through which they produced and distributed fetish content.

A search warrant was executed at the property after it was learned that the child had likely been exposed to sexually explicit material. Electronic devices from the home were subsequently seized, and several sexually-explicit photos and videos of the girl were found after forensic examination.

Volz had been separated from the child’s mother, but traveled to Oregon with Romero to take the child into his custody and transport her to New Jersey in 2018 where he began using her in child sexual exploitation videos. Volz’s horrific pornography scheme was launched just one year after he had served as the Clark College Queer Association president.

Some of the media found by police featured Romero sexually abusing the girl. Romero lived in the residence with Volz and with two other individuals, Sean Allen, who had also sexually abused the girl, and Dulcinea Gnecco, who acted as a domestic servant.

During the trial, prosecutors told the Judge the little girl had been subjected to “a vortex of darkness” after being removed from her mother’s care.

Judge Peter Tober declined to delve into the full details of the case, but noted to the court that she had been subjected to torture-like conditions, mentioning neck collars, a cage in the basement, and sex toys.

“If this was not heinous, cruel and depraved, I don’t know what is,” Judge Tober said, stating that the girl had been taken from her mother “solely for the sexual gratification” of others.

In media coverage of the horrific case, Volz and Romero were referred to as “women” and were addressed using “she/her” pronouns. Volz was also identified as the girl’s “mother” in the Daily Mail and My Central Jersey.

After their sentencing in May of 2022, Reduxx learned that Romero had immediately been sent to the Edna Mahan Correctional Facility for Women, but that Volz had initially been placed in the South Woods State Prison for men. Just two months later, Volz was quietly transferred to Edna Mahan but was still recorded as a “male” inmate until this year, when the state of New Jersey updated his inmate profile to classify him as a “female” inmate.

Volz had previously sued the Somerset County Sheriff’s Office, claiming discrimination on the basis of his gender identity while being processed following his initial arrest. 

According to court documents reviewed by Reduxx, Volz was placed in protective custody in the male unit of the Somerset County Jail prior to his trial for the sexual abuse of his daughter. He would not be moved to the female unit until the next year, after arguing he identified as “female.” The case was settled out of court for $5,000.

Last year, Reduxx spoke to multiple female inmates at the facility who expressed anxiety and fear about the presence of the male inmates in their close quarters.

Miseka Diggs, an incarcerated woman at Edna Mahan, explained that the female inmates were “scared to death” of the men. Under the current policy, the men do not need to undergo any surgery, and Diggs asserts that most of the men are not on hormone replacement therapy. She stated that a majority of women incarcerated at Edna Mahan have past trauma, with many being victims of male violence, and the presence of men in the facility is causing them severe distress. 

According to Diggs, women who complain of feeling unsafe are placed in protective custody.

“We can’t express our feelings in fear of being put in protective custody, [which] is like lock-up. If you use the wrong words you will be uprooted and removed from your living quarters. So many women walk around in fear,” Diggs said.

“We feel like we are part of some sick joke. This is a nightmare that we can’t wake up from,” she added. “The women here are traumatized over and over again and it seems as if no one cares about our needs. We feel like second-class citizens with no rights.”

Another female inmate, Dawn Jackson, expressed similar concerns. Jackson is a survivor of lifelong sexual abuse, and explained that the presence of males in the facility caused her anxiety.

“Personally speaking, I have succumbed to a point where I mentally and emotionally cower when in the presence of some of the trans-identified males housed here in prison with me,” Jackson says, “I’ve had to mentally rearrange myself since having no choice… being subjected to live amongst the opposite sex.”

As recently revealed by Reduxx, the state of New Jersey’s policies on gender self-identification in prisons was largely the result of a settlement reached between the ACLU and the Department of Corrections in 2021.

The lawsuit the ACLU launched was on behalf of a transgender male inmate who sought transfer but had been denied. That inmate was anonymized in court records, referred to only as “Sonia Doe.” Reduxx later learned that Doe was in fact Danielle Demers.

Born Daniel Smith, Demers was investigated by the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force and the Atlantic County Prosecutor’s Office for attempting to sell ammunition and pipe bombs. Demers is a member of the “adult baby” community, in which adults role-play as children during sexual encounters.

If the trans community isn’t misogynistic as they claim, then why don‘t they speak up against this just like her? Why do they don‘t bat an eye when this woman speaks up, or even supports the people who want to punish & silence her?

Trans prisoner, Demi Minor, who was jailed for 30 years for stabbing his former foster father to death is now being held on a vulnerable unit at a men’s prison in New Jersey. Minor was moved from the Edna Mahan Correctional Facility to Garden State Youth Correctional Facility last month. Minor’s case hit the headlines earlier this year when it was revealed he had impregnated two female inmates at the Edna Mahan Correctional Facility. The Edna Mahan Correctional Facility, which can house up to 800 inmates, welcomed transgender women last year. As a result of the earlier pregnancies, the New Jersey Corrections Department said it was reviewing its policy with ‘implementing minor modifications.’ ————————————- Two inmates of a women only prison have fallen pregnant after having consensual sex with a transgender inmate, it has been reported. The women are among 800 people, including 27 transwomen, being held at the Edna Mahan Correctional Facility in Clinton, New Jersey. In a letter sent to US outlet NJ 105.5, an inmate claimed that one of the women, who is not eligible for parole until 2104, was five months pregnant. The letter said that the inmates had a history of sex acts in public areas and had to be separated. Demi Minor has claimed to be the person responsible for impregnating the two prisoners via a website Justice 4 Demi, which she is understood to help run from prison. It claims that she was sentenced to 30 years inside at the age of 16 for manslaughter, and that she has now been approved for correctional surgery. A woman claiming to be the mother of one of the children has written a blogpost on the website, titled 'Freedom, Love, Pregnancy and Trauma'. "Surprisingly I am three months pregnant and I conceived while incarcerated here at Edna Mahan Correctional Facility," she wrote. "Although Edna Mahan breeds a 'pervasive culture of rape', I WAS NOT RAPED, nor was I forced to do anything that I did not want to do. "Despite it not being permitted I fell in love and had consensual sex with a woman who is trans. Consensual sex is a prohibited act in Edna Mahan." https://www.instagram.com/p/CgKtL4ZPO4r/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
