Corrections headlines in the news

There's been a trove of Corrections related headlines in the news lately. Below is a handful.


Hulking trans child molester repeatedly sexually assaulted female cellmate after being transferred to women’s prison: suit -NY Post

Bureau Of Prisons: 2024 Year In Review And Outlook for 2025 - Forbes

Sheriffs gear up to join Trump’s MASS DEPORTATION crusade -Natural News

DFL legislator shuts down discussion of trans prison policy at committee hearing - Alpha News

What can be gleaned from these stories is a few themes. The trans inmates (males) being placed in women's prisons is a growing problem which isn't going away, yet certain politicians choose not to discuss it. Jails and prisons are extremely understaffed and the upcoming Administration's immigration enforcement is going to add to that. 2025 should be an interesting and challenging year for corrections.
