State that biological males must not be housed in women’s prisons

State that biological males must not be housed in women’s prisons — 770 signatures. Status: closed.

Petition background

I want the government to unequivocally state that biological males should not be housed in women’s prisons.

Additional details

Women in prison have been denied their liberty by the authorities, therefore it is the government’s duty to protect them while they are incarcerated. Some women in prison have been victims of historical abuse at the hands of men. I believe it is reprehensible that they should be locked up with biological males. Please protect the women in prisons.
