Are felonies and misdemeanor people share the same prison cell in Maryland

Asked by Sel about 6 years ago

NO idea. Never been there. In most states there are legal problems with housing misdemeanants and felons together.

Can married co defendants live together in prison?

Asked by Sammie almost 6 years ago

Good question. I don't know. I have been retired for over 15 years and the issue did not come up at that time. State law specifically prohibits sexual relations between prisoners but of course that was written when homosexual conduct was illegal in general. I have no information one way or the other just now. Sorry.

So with the 50 genders and counting how many new units and prisons will we need because we have men’s and women’s prisons but we need gender neutral, non binary And all the other genders and sexes housing.

Asked by Karli about 6 years ago

Fortunately I retired before this started. Under the "old" rules if you had a penis, and your birth certificate said MALE you were a male. Anything else was open for discussion. The new rules are still being worked on. I do know that in one prison (NOT in CA) the prison system is being sued because a "real" female prisoner was allegedly raped by a trans-female prisoner who had been housed in a women's prison.

What do you think of Maxwell and how should they protect her from suicide, being killed, escaping, or whatever could happen?

Asked by Pearl about 6 years ago

I am not worried about an escape. I doubt she has the skill set or connections to pull that off. Suicide prevention is fairly easy, it's called suicide watch. It is expensive but very effective if employed correctly. (It WASN'T employed correctly in Epstein's case.) I strongly suspect that, after Epstein's death, there is little danger of anything untoward happening to her at least in the short term.

As far as what I think of her, I think she is a disgusting turd.
