From Genevieve Gluck at Reduxx:

A man convicted of the brutal murder of his mother has been quietly transferred into a women’s prison in Illinois. Kmuel Kevin King is currently incarcerated at Logan Correctional Center (LCC), a facility for female inmates, despite being described as “male” within the state’s Department of Corrections records.

As LCC has been housing trans-identified male convicts in recent years, King’s transfer suggests that he has claimed to identify as a woman in order to secure the move, though this detail is not explicitly stated within his listing on the Illinois Department of Corrections (DOC) website. Additionally, recent photos of King provided by the DOC reveal him as having an overtly masculine appearance.

They do indeed.

King is serving an 80-year prison sentence for the cold-blooded murder of his mother….

It is unclear when King was first transferred into Logan Correctional Center, a women’s prison that currently houses 12 biological males who are claiming to be “transgender women.” Among them are at least two men who have been convicted for child sexual abuse, James “Jamie” Boots and Michelle Blessent.

Illinois Department of Corrections officials released an Administrative Directive which went into effect in April 2021 allowing convicts who “self-identify as transgender” to be housed according to their preference.

The Directive was designed to “address the adjustment of offenders self-identified as transgender or suspected of having Gender Dysphoria or other concerns related to gender identity,” and to ensure that prison officials provide “appropriate accommodations … related to gender identity throughout their incarceration.”
