Why are so many LGBTQ people incarcerated in the US? – Everything Law and Order Blog

“At least 40% of people incarcerated in American women’s prisons identify somewhere under the broad lesbian-bisexual-trans-queer umbrella—a shocking statistic that holds true when looking at detention centers for youths as well,” historian Hugh Ryan recently wrote in The Washington Post. “As women’s incarceration skyrockets in America—increasing 700% in just the past 40 years—naming and dealing with the homophobia and transphobia at its root is crucial to understanding this phenomenon and unraveling it.” In this edition of Rattling the Bars, Mansa Musa speaks with Ryan about why so many LGBTQ people are incarcerated today and how sexism, homophobia, and transphobia became baked-in features of our modern prison-industrial complex.

Hugh Ryan is a New York-based historian, curator, and author of The Women’s House of Detention: A Queer History of a Forgotten Prison and When Brooklyn Was Queer.

    3) You want to worship idols – please go ahead. You are a murti pujak.

    4) You dont want to worship idols – no problem. You can focus on Nirguna Brahman.

    5) You want to criticise something in our religion. Come forward. We are logical. Nyaya, Tarka etc. are core Hindu schools.

    9) You want to start your journey by reading Purana – Be my guest.

    10) You just don't like reading Puranas or other books. No problem my dear. Go by Bhakti tradition . ( bhakti- devotion)

    11) You don't like idea of Bhakti ! No problem. Do your Karma. Be a karmayogi.

    12) You want to enjoy life. Very good. No problem at all. This is Charvaka Philosophy.

    13) You want to abstain from all the enjoyment of life & find God – jai ho ! Be a Sadhu, an ascetic !

    14) You don't like the concept of God. You believe in Nature only – Welcome. (Trees are our friends and Prakriti or nature is worthy of worship).

    15) You believe in one God or Supreme Energy. Superb! Follow Advaita philosophy

    16) You want a Guru. Go ahead. Receive gyaan.

    17) You don't want a Guru.. Help yourself ! Meditate, Study !

    18) You believe in Female energy ! Shakti is worshipped.

    19) You believe that every human being is equal. Yeah! You're awesome, come on let's celebrate Hinduism!

    "Vasudhaiva kutumbakam" (the world is a family)

    20) You don't have time to celebrate the festival.

    Don't worry. One more festival is coming! There are multiple festivals every single day of the year.

    21) You are a working person. Don't have time for religion. Its okay. You will still be a Hindu.

    22) You like to go to temples. Devotion is loved.

    23) You don't like to go to temples – no problem. You are still a Hindu!

    24) You know that Hinduism is a way of life, with considerable freedom.

    25) You believe that everything has God in it. So you worship your mother, father, guru, tree, River, Prani-matra, Earth, Universe!

    26) And If you don't believe that everything has GOD in it – No problems. Respect your viewpoint.

    27) "Sarve jana sukhino bhavantu " (May you all live happily)

    You represent this! You're free to choose, my dear Hindu!

    This is exactly the essence of Hinduism, all inclusive .. That is why it has withstood the test of time inspite of repeated onslaught both from within and outside, and assimilated every good aspects from everything . That is why it is eternal !!!

    There is a saying in Rigveda , the first book ever known to mankind which depicts the Hinduism philosophy in a Nutshell " Ano bhadrah Krathavo Yanthu Vishwathah" Let the knowledge come to us from every directions

  2. I believe the USA criminal injustice system wants transgenders Post Operation introduced into their male prison population ASAP in order to increase work productivity amongst inmates

  3. USA is a "for profit criminal justice system "and USA incarceration rate per Capita is the highest in the world. USA criminal injustice system is the most corrupt in the world. Congratulations USA .

  4. Police don’t like gays. My partner & I have had drugs planted on us by police during 3 bogus traffic stops in Oklahoma.

  5. It's because 🇺🇲💩 is the biggest jail on earth … About 2% of americans live in Jail … Less we forget Joe Thug Biden was the leading champion of the war on drugs which was a war on the poor and black people actually … Now lgbtqi folks are no exception to a vicious police state … End of Story

  6. If you’re gay lesbian and trans in in jail is that really a punishment? To me that would be like putting a heterosexual man in a all women’s prison, that would be no punishment at all

  7. In reference to the mid 19th century and early 20th century, habeus corpus and due process were thrown out the window. Also, incarceration of women was subjective.

    I guess nothing has really changed. Those of us without direct and indirect contact with the injustice system believe the above rights are practiced. Reality is a totally different story.

    This video is an eye opener.

  8. 1, You're NOT DIGGING DEEP ENOUGH into the REASON "S" WHY, WHICH ARE MANY !.
    2, The prison systems have been Disfunctional & Abusive TOWARDS ALL TYPE INMATES for as long as they've existed, (& those of Non Conforming Gender WOULD BE PREY'D APPON BY OTHER INMATES !) just as facilities of Long or Short Term Mental, General Health HAVE !. BECAUSE IT IS A PLACE WHERE MORE
    " SUITABLE " HELP IS NEEDED THAN IS AVAILABLE, lending them to hire Unsuitable, Mentally Unstable, Controlling, Abusive, Personalities.
    3, In a way you ARE TRIVIALIZING THE ISSUES INVOLVED WITH being of WHATEVER MAY BE Non Conforming, do you REALIZE we NOW HAVE people who are trying to Identify as CAKES, sheet cake, wedding cake, etc CAKE !!!.
    4, As i'd said you're OVER SIMPLIFYING the reasons for this in the WRONG DIRECTION of CAUSALITY, DO YOU FULLY UNDERSTAND WHAT HAS BEEN GOING ON * GLOBALLY ! * THE LAST 2yrs WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR IT ALL !!!. They've been MANIPULATING EVERY SINGLE ASPECT of Our Worlds Society's,
    The 1% of 1%'rs = The 13 Ancient Bloodline families who've owned, controled, Our Country, Our Legal Systems, Stock Markets, "their " > Central, Fed, Banking Systems, treasury of "their " corporation of the u.s. NOT Our U.S. Treasury/ lluminati/masonic order/vatican/w,orld e,conomic f,orum/w,orld h,ealth o,rganization/ g,lobal m,onetary f,und/ & " their " PSYCHOTIC u.n.'s Agendas 2021, 2030 !!!.

    That guy who was putting his WRONG, ASKEWED, IDEA'S OUT THERE AS IF HE KNOWS WHAT'S RITE THAT IS'NT ACTUALLY BASED IN ANY TRUE FACT OR THAT WILL BE ACCEPTED BY PARENTS, SHOULD NOT BE VOICEING SUCH IGNORRENT, SELF SERVING, BIASED, SOCIALLY DESTRUCTIVE, IDEA'S AS WHAT * MUST BE !? * DONE TO CORRECT ANY of THE ISSUES YOU'RE CONCERENED ABOUT. We must all stand 1st TOGETHER AGAINST " these Psychopaths * HELL BENT ON RULLING Our ENTIRE WORLD & IN

  9. What about the amount with mental health issues? I mean the largest mental health facility in the country is the Cooks County jail…

  10. disproportionate doesn't mean it is because of oppression from police or society. maybe it means that folks that do criminal activity tend to have less morals than the average person.

    mindblown with common sense.

    lotta americans have loser victim mindsets.. so pathetic.

  11. 14:16 specious
    Mr. Musa, "queer" is still a slur that can get people jumped, and even killed. Please do not listen to this guy's irresponsible promotion of a tech medical-drug industry

  12. Women are currently being raped in prison by biological males who claim to be the opposite sex. Women’s rights are basically nonexistent at present, yet men are being afforded special privileges that violate the rights of others, particularly women. The gender cult must be broken up, as it is dangerous ideology that harms children and women in particular.

  13. These comments so far should let you know, to hide the stories of the voiceless, subjugate without penalty, and feel holier than their brother/sister/other. Christianity has enslaved and destroyed this world to no end and yet we can't do without it for fear of cosmic retribution. But perhaps it is better to be free until oblivion, than enslaved to smile.

  14. Because those christians that are in power are such kind of christians that want and need to have power and control. Such christians are not full of love but full of hate and bigotry.
