Caitlyn fears she may have to serve in MEN'S prison
Quote:
Caitlyn Jenner has admitted she fears being forced to serve in a men's jail over a fatal car crash which left one woman dead earlier this year.
The four-vehicle crash on the Pacific Coast Highway left one woman, Kimberly Howe, dead and seven others injured in February, and Caitlyn now faces charges of misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter.
But the star has slammed claims she was speeding at the time of impact, admitting she remembers little of the horrific moment.
"I remember it very little, I remember it happening and that's about it," the 65-year-old told Today's Matt Lauer during a pre-recorded interview this week
Admitting she couldn't say more due to legal reasons, she added: "A tragedy like this, you'll never get over it. You just learn to live with it the best you possibly can."
She also slammed claims she was speeding at the time of the fatal smash, adding: '"I was under the speed limit, I was going 46 in a 50 – my air bag didn't even go off."
Caitlyn, formerly known as Bruce, recently underwent a sex change - and she fears she could end up in a men's jail if she has to serve time.
"The media wants that picture, don't they," Jenner told the presenter. "That is the worst case scenario. I will say the men's county jail, it is an enormous problem that they would put trans women in a men's county jail
So we should let her be put in a prison with the wrong gender?
US prisons have a general policy of housing Transgender prisoners according to their birth-assigned gender, regardless of their current appearance or gender identity
The court will trail her as a man, given how she was Bruce during the time of the accident.
The wreck happened almost right after she came out as Caitlyn, if I recall correctly. But even if she wasn't out at the time, people should be placed in prisons of their same gender, and Caitlyn is female. It's that simple.

Remember when atrlers were dragging that member for asking if she'll go to men or women prison?
I don't really see how that question warrants a dragging if asked out of genuine curiosity.
I mean the correct answer should be a female prison, but transgender prison issues are still a very common occurrence. We had quite a high profile incident here in New Zealand recently.
however im sure she will be sent to a female one.
