God I fucking hate US prisons. This is the thing about my country I am the most ashamed of.
This is gonna happen again, to right-wing jan 6 insurrectionist Jessica Watkins. A trans woman who is likely to be put into a male prison for 8 years.
That's exactly what she voted and insurrected for, right? A trans republican getting the taste of their anti-trans party's own medicine.
No one deserves to be raped and murdered in prison. The justice system is far from perfect but we don't sentence people to be raped and then murdered. We do rarely sentence people to death, but not by vigilante shanking or beating.
