Yesterday, athlete and single-sex space advocate Riley Gaines hosted on her podcast, Gaines for Girls, a guest with a unique - and highly personal - perspective.
Amie Ichikawa served five years in prison in California. Since then, she has dedicated her life to fighting for the rights of incarcerated women. This includes the right to keep men out of women’s spaces, a problem she says is of increasing concern as more and more biological men are being placed in women's prisons out of deference to their "gender identity" - regardless, she says, of whether they're being honest.
“It’s like a kid in a candy store. And the women's prison is like an unshucked oyster,” Ichikawa said. “It's just waiting to be discovered because there's so many opportunities for extortion. It's a gold mine for them.”
Ichikawa said the laws make it easy for men to take advantage of the system to prey on women behind bars. Now, many dangerous male inmates, including those incarcerated for sex crimes against women, are currently housed in women’s prisons.
"A large percentage of the people who are transferring are individuals the state has a hard time keeping safe because of their status that's not trans related; status with the gangs, being informants, just very problematic individuals. So they're coming from these level four men's prisons, they’re maximum security, and entering women's general population, which is completely not segregated," Ichikawa explained.
She's not wrong. Matthew “Marina” Volz, as well as his partner-in-crime Adam “Ashley” Romero, are both biologically male, dangerous offenders who sadistically sexually abused Volz’s young daughter. However, they are both incarcerated at Edna Mahan Correctional Facility for Women in New Jersey because of their “trans” identities.

Horrifyingly, Volz and Romero aren’t alone. In 2022, Edna Mahan Correctional Facility for Women in New Jersey made headlines when Demitrius “Demi” Minor, a trans-identified male inmate convicted of manslaughter, impregnated two female inmates.
The following year, an inmate at the same prison sued the New Jersey Department of Corrections for their inaction regarding “sexually aggressive and harassing behaviors of the transgenders.” The woman claims that, after suffering sexual assault at the hands of a trans-identified inmate, staff took disciplinary action against her for retaliation after she reported the alleged offense.
Though two of the inmates - Minor and the alleged sexual abuser - have been moved to men’s prisons, Volz and Romero remain incarcerated in Edna Mahan.
Remember, this is just one prison, and it’s not alone. Of all U.S. states and territories, only two, Alaska and the Northern Mariana Islands, specifically have laws that ensure segregation of prisons by biological sex.
