Some highlights.
The absolute Clown world of this one broke me.
Rating informative because horrifying doesn't do it justice.
The new resources are a tacit admission by officials that women should expect to be raped when housed in prison with men, where all sex is considered non-consensual by default within the system.
[...] “pregnant people”
[...] hundreds of men, many of whom are sex offenders, awaiting entry into the women’s estate.
CCWF’s prison yard, for example, had been home for over three decades to trees which provided shade from the desert sun and a home to local birds. Once the men started coming, the trees were cut down, as they were seen as a security risk.
The women, meanwhile, are being prepared with free condoms and guidance on how to obtain an abortion in prison.

Although sexual acts (even “consensual” ones) are prohibited and result in disciplinary action if caught, CCWF started providing condoms to inmates. However, there are strict rules regarding their usage including that inmates are not allowed to have more than three condoms on their person at a time, and unwrapped condoms are considered contraband.
