flag A 2026 letter demands better safety for female inmates in Maine, citing harassment by a transgender man and failure to separate genders, calling it a violation of international standards and cruel punishment.

flag A March 2026 letter calls for improved safety for female inmates at Maine’s correctional facilities, citing ongoing harassment allegations involving a transgender man at the Maine Correctional Center. flag It argues that failing to separate male and female prisoners—especially those exhibiting patterns of male violence—violates international standards, including the Geneva Conventions, and constitutes cruel and unusual punishment. flag The authors emphasize that incarcerated women face heightened risks of sexual harassment and retaliation when reporting abuse, and that Maine’s lack of safeguards undermines their right to dignity and protection, despite federal guidelines requiring gender separation.
