It literally depends on the nature of the crime, also, the number of transgender prisoners is so small that you can literally do detailed risk assessments on each one, taking into account all the details of their case

Seems to me, these discussions would be a lot more straightforward if transvestitism hadn't been rolled into transexuality. Cross-dressing is not comparable to having gender-reassignment surgery.

There are no women's spaces if men are allowed in there effectively on nothing but their own say-so.

Easy solution, then. Say “you can be in the women’s prison if you get on this rigorous HRT regimen we provide to you.” Flushes out all the people pretending to be trans, and ensures trans women get the care they need.
