How this interview could go through a discussion unironically about what people are “disposable” in our society when this person’s crime (at least the portion they admit to) was literally throwing a person away. And to be still sticking to NO SNITCHING!

Keep that in mind when someone rapes, tortures, and kills you or someone you love. At leas you’ll have the smug satisfaction of knowing that they won’t have to suffer through solitary confinement.

I agree with you, although seriously, he does NOT belong in a female prison. Why would you take someone who raped a 13 year old girl and then put them in a prison full of more women he can rape? This guy knew that if he was ‘transgender’ he would get special protection from the general population in a male prison, or…

HE should be placed in a male prison in his own cell. Not solitary, just his own cell. They need a separate wing for the gender-nonconforming for their own safety, plus their own yard. That’s as far as I would go for him though. HE RAPED AND MURDERED A FEMALE AND YOU WANT HIM IN A FEMALE PRISON? Right.

...And also pretty conclusively shows that she has not actually been in solitary for 20 years.

Yes, I do think that making that observation in this context and placing the two things in a shared category compares them.

Do you think it would be just if Blast were raped and stuffed in a suitcase? Because by this logic anything short of that could be considered justified. Not the logic I used nor am I a harcore retributionist I was comparing her current situation to that of her victim’s. If I was keen on the whole “eye-for-an-eye”…

Actually no I’m not contradicting myself. I’m remaining consistent, In both case I acknowledge that she is a woman, and a garbage who deserved nothing but the bare minimum. She should be treated like any other criminal.

Agreed. She can rot.

The real issue to me is that the article doesn’t even mention the victim or the alleged crime.

It’s bizarre to compare not reporting a fellow student for a school driving offense to covering up the rape and murder of a child and enabling the rapes and murders of more children.

She is not, this is all her PR like usual.

I’m just not here for someone like her being used to ask for those changes.

Yeah, right. Who are you gonna believe: a gang-banger who’d already been tried for a previous case of arson and murder, or all the people who testified that he and his partner had bragged about torturing and murdering a little kid? And who then grinned all the way through the trial?

Since this interview was conducted, Synthia China Blast has been transferred to Mid-State Correctional Facility, a men’s facility near Utica. She is now on a long-term IPC wing, and is able to spend the vast majority of each day out of her cell and around other prisoners. Blast finally has access to programming and…

I’m confused. I read this article that seems to have been published in 2014 and doesn’t mention anything about solitary - in fact, the focus of the article is on her relationship with another prisoner. How does this fit with her having been in total solitude for the past however-many years?

Look I don’t give a fuck about her, or how she is treated, I really don’t care about what happened to racist garbage. Does that make me a bad person, I don’t give a fuck. People like her are the reason why my kind never have a peace of mind. Also we can talk about her white privilege, that’s the only reason why she…

From the NY Times, August 30, 1993:

Solitary confinement can be legitmately used to isolate leaders of violent prison gangs. And by her own admission, she was near the top leadership of Latin King.

How ass-backwards do you have to be as a feminists to promote a child rapist and murderer on your site Jezebel?
