From The Australian:

A second woman has come forward to reveal her “five months of hell” locked in a cell with South Australia’s most notorious transgender prisoner, after being horrified by Premier Peter Malin­auskas’s dismissal of the safety of female inmates as “a niche issue”.

The then 30-year-old woman was forced to share a cell with Krista Richards, a violent criminal who was alleged last week to have brutally sexually assaulted a young woman known as Katie, who had also been forced to share a cell with the would-be hitman in Port Augusta Prison.

But it’s a “niche” issue. Why is that? Welllll come on, women don’t matter, you know that. Let’s not be silly here.

In a graphic interview, Emma (not her real name) tells The Australian of being forced to sleep next to the near-naked 69-year-old inmate, once known as Leslie Graham Richards but who has now had gender-affirming surgery and claims to be a lesbian.

Emma does not claim to have been sexually assaulted but says her life became unbearable with the dominating Richards, who “owns the jail”, seeks out “young, pretty, blonde” female inmates, and boasts of having killed 14 ­people.

After repeatedly failing to answer questions last week from The Australian about Katie’s allegations, which included being digitally penetrated by Richards, Mr Malinauskas on Friday told The Adelaide Advertiser: “I have not turned my mind to our policy pertaining to trans prisoners. I would categorise it as a niche issue that I hope our officials are making thoughtful decisions in accordance with the law,” he said.

Ah, he hopes. Well that’s good enough. Next subject?

Richards had previously been held in a men’s prison but during a more recent incarceration after trying to kill an underworld figure to pay off drug debts, was allowed to move to a women’s prison.

Brilliant! Good move! He tried to kill someone so obviously it’s time to put him in a women’s prison.
