Meanwhile, in Minnesota:

An inmate at Minnesota’s Shakopee women’s prison says she’s been traumatized by the state’s policy allowing transgender-identifying males to be housed alongside female prisoners—calling her experience “the worst time I’ve ever had to live through.”

Jamie Ali, who is currently incarcerated at the Minnesota Correctional Facility–Shakopee, spoke to Alpha News by phone and shared concerns about her mental health, physical safety, and what she calls repeated failures by the Department of Corrections (DOC) to protect vulnerable women.

“I am a survivor of sexual assault. I’ve been raped three times,” Ali said. “I also experienced domestic violence growing up and in my previous relationships so the whole thing being here with these men has been a nightmare.”

Ali said the state’s 2023 transgender policy has caused lasting psychological harm in the form of panic attacks, and the presence of biologically male inmates has forced her to isolate—even from beneficial rehabilitation programs.

“I withdrew from every single one of my classes because there are transgenders in them and it’s very traumatic,” she said. “I’ve been having panic attacks since I’ve got here.”

Ali made a disturbing claim about one inmate, Sean Windingland, who she said was previously housed in Shakopee and later transferred back to a men’s prison.

“Upon them searching his room they found bottles filled with semen,” Ali alleged. “He was storing it to, I guess, get IPs (Imprisoned Persons) pregnant … or to give to them so they could then therefore try to impregnate their self.”

Windingland, Ali explained, had been “charged with molesting his six-year-old twin daughters.” She questioned how he was ever approved for transfer. “How in the hell would that have been appropriate to put him in all woman’s prison? I mean somebody make it make sense.”

She should ask Minnesota governor Tim Walz, the Dem nominee for vice-president under Kamala Harris. He's a big trans advocate. Maybe he can make it make sense.

Earlier this month, multiple sources confirmed to Alpha News that Stillwater prisoner Marco Hanlon, who identifies as a “transgender woman,” has received breast implants. Hanlon was charged with criminal sexual conduct for molesting his five-year-old cousin.

According to court documents, Hanlon has received hormone therapy for years. Alpha News asked the DOC for comment and if taxpayers are footing the bill. The DOC responded by saying, “We are unable to confirm any of the information that you seek.”
