New docu-series exposes the 'cruel and unusual punishment' of housing trans prisoners with female inmates

EXCLUSIVE: The Independent Women’s Forum (IWF) revealed the trailer and details about its new documentary series exposing the reality of housing biological males who identify as transgender with female prisoners to Fox News Digital Wednesday.

The series, titled "Cruel & Unusual Punishment: The Male Takeover of Women's Prisons," will consist of multi-episode interviews with various insiders, prison guards and female inmates on the impact of forcing biological women to share facilities with transgender women. Each episode will be approximately five to ten minutes long and available for free on IWF's YouTube account.

IWF director of storytelling Kelsey Bolar explained that the project was born out of a "desire to take a stance in this fight and be a voice for current and former female inmates who, sadly, don't have a voice."

"IWF has taken a stand in defense of women and girls and female spaces.

It's unfortunate that up until now, no other women's groups have been willing to be a voice for female inmates, and in some cases, they have actively worked against them by lobbying to put men in women's prisons in the name of tolerance and inclusion," Bolar told Fox News Digital.
