Former inmate tells Riley Gaines male 'opportunists' are using trans policies to get into female prisons

Former incarcerated woman Amie Ishikawa spoke to Outkick’s Riley Gaines on the “Gaines for Girls" podcast about male criminals likely abusing transgender policies.

"A large percentage of the people who are transferring are individuals the state has a hard time keeping safe because of their status that's not trans related; status with the gangs, being informants, just very problematic individuals. So they're coming from these level four men's prisons, they’re maximum security, and entering women's general population, which is completely not segregated," Ishikawa explained.

"It’s like a kid in a candy store. And the women's prison is like an unshucked oyster. It's just waiting to be discovered because there's so many opportunities for extortion. It's a gold mine for them. That's why all these lawsuits are spinning and being created as we speak. There's a lot of money to be made in these situations, and these opportunists are going to take advantage of this opportunity as expected," she added.
