SORRY - I MADE A MISTAKE ON SEX OFFENDERS IN CA PRISONS. I think that these are the correct stats but please read the report for yourself!

Use this link:

https://www.scribd.com/document/93926520/Transgender-Inmates-in-CAs-Prisons-An-Empirical-Study-of-a-Vulnerable-Population

These are the stats according to the study at the link. This reads page 56 on my computer and should be found around that page but, in any case, it's under "Characteristics of Transgender Inmates."

Earlier, the report seems to classify "transgender" as meaning TiMs, not TiFs, but please verify for yourselves that these stats are for TiMs:

Transgenders in prison for Crimes Against Person 49.8% Registered Sex Offenders 20.5% Level III 29.0% Level IV 32.1% Lifers w possibility of parole 13.3% Life without parole 2.4%

The whole report is interesting but another chart on what looks like pg 60, has Distribution Of Sexual Orientations, which is very confusing because it doesn't clarify if "homosexual" means attraction to men or women, but in either case, 29% plus of transgenders in California prisons are attracted to women according to this study (but please someone else check and verify my figures!)
