cw: sexual violence
Not only do the more violent incarcerated people rape incarcerated trans people, the fucking prison guards actually "give them over" to said violent prisoners, by knowingly assigning them to a cell together to placate the violent one.

Happens to cis men as well, if you are perceived as effeminate or known to be gay. Donny the Punk (Stephen Donaldson) was a prison reform activist who brought a lot of attention to sexual assault in male prisons.
His Wikipedia page is a tough read, but he is basically one of the first people to organize around this and bring the issue to American consciousness.
Defund the police was a watered down psyop. Abolish prisons and police.
