Background

Women in prison have been denied their liberty by the authorities, therefore it is the government’s duty to protect them while they are incarcerated.
Some women in prison have been victims of historical abuse at the hands of men. I believe it is reprehensible that they should be locked up with biological males. Please protect the women in prisons.
