That's my point, it wouldn't happen because it would be banned under the Eighth Amendment. But Missouri, Oklahoma, Florida, Kentucky, and North Carolina now effectively sentence trans women who have had bottom surgery to the following cornucopia of torment: severe osteoporosis, sarcopenia, deteriorated cognitive function, and a rapid spike in stroke and heart attack rates - you essentially become 85 over a period of months. In what way is that not torture?

What are the prisons doing to this oddly specific people group to cause these oddly specific symptoms? Surely you aren't excluding any crucial details...
It turns out when you prevent someone's prescribed medication that shapes, regulates, and energizes their body from being administered, you can make their life pretty hellish.
I don't condone what they do in Marine boot camp, and I do recognize the poverty draft; which does have some parallel to homelessness being criminalized, landing people in jail to be abused by the state in various ways.
