“In an equally abusive placement, gender variant women are being V-coded close to the end of their sentences. This location works to keep women incarcerated because if they defend themselves against rape or other violence that occurs with their "husband" or cellmate, it is common for them to be charged with assault then placed in the "hole". The assault charge then shreds the previous parole possibility and release date”
