50% of trans-identifying biological males in Wisconsin prisons convicted of sex crimes

It has been revealed that half of the trans-identifying biological males currently serving out sentences in Wisconsin prisons have been convicted of at least one sex crime.

The statistic was uncovered by the Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project during its analysis of Wisconsin Department of Corrections data obtained via an April 2022 public records request.

According to the report, of the 161 trans-identifying biological males in prisons across the state, 81 have sex crimes on their record.

The report did not divulge exactly which crimes the 81 inmates had been convicted of, though details of certain cases have been previously reported on.

One such case is that of Mark Campbell, who was allowed to stay in a women’s prison while awaiting his taxpayer-funded gender transition surgery in 2020. Campbell was arrested in 2007 after allegedly sexually assaulting and abusing his 10-year-old daughter.

Six years into his 34-year sentence, he began identifying as a woman and changed his name to Nicole, and in 2020 US District Judge James Peterson ruled that receiving surgery fell under his constitutional rights, arguing that “an inmate’s criminal history is irrelevant to whether she has a right to necessary medical treatment.” The women at the prison he ended up in were not consulted prior to his arrival.
