The town of Empoli, Italy will soon be opening its first jail.. only for transgendered inmates, that is. The jail was previously meant for inmates who were women with drug problems, but after being renovated in April it will open up to being a jail for transgendered people. The wardens of the jail are currently being specially trained.
I think that this is very racist of the country. Personally I think every person should be treated with the same rights, no matter what their personal beliefs are. Its kind of like a situation with a black man and a white man. Say the white man walks into a store and no one is bothered or affected by it, but then the black man walks in. Say he is harrassed and followed by the workers in the store, and maybe even kicked out just because of the colour of his skin. Its the same thing with a man or woman who was always a man or woman, or a man or woman who dresses like the opposite sex. Its their choice, and no one should be affected by this but the person themselves. I don’t think people should be seperated while they are imprisoned because of what they choose to do. It shouldn’t affect anyone else.

Maybe the point of this jail is to give people who are transgendered special protection because others are not as open minded as you are and may harm these people if they are put into a normal jail?
that’s true, i agree with mr. fisher. there are peopele who are like that. the transgender may get hirt.
Your probably right but if they put the transgendered inmates in a regular jail they might be beaten because they are transgendered.
Nicole and Mr. Fisher are correct you never kno what other would do the transgenerd. Well I still agree we should all be treated eaqual yes we look differnet but inside we are all the same. Nice Bolg its very strong and it will help peole to seee th reality of Life.
